Appeal No. 2001-0742
Application 09/128,912
Rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103
In rejecting claims 16-26 under 35 U.S.C. § 103, the
examiner relies on Kolb as disclosing articles formed from the
claimed crosslinked film and relies on Schwinum as teaching a
molding technique for manufacturing gloves. Examiner’s Answer,
page 9. Buchheim and Szczechura are relied on as teaching
laminating or coating latex gloves with, for example, a powder.
See id. As discussed above in connection with the rejections
under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b), we have concluded that none of the
cited references disclose the claimed crosslinked film.
Moreover, the examiner has failed to explain why one of ordinary
skill in the art would have been motivated to modify the film
disclosed in Kolb or any of the other references to achieve a
crosslinked film having the recited properties of claims 8 and
17.
