          Appeal No. 2002-2283                                                         
          Application No. 08/882,513                                                   


          in any form other than that appearing in a 2002 ACS CAPLUS                   
          publication.  The 2002 ACS CAPLUS publication is not itself prior            
          art with respect to the subject matter defined by the claims on              
          appeal.  However, for purposes of this appeal only, we will                  
          presume that the disclosure of the 2002 ACS CAPLUS publication of            
          CA 111:153338 is identical to CA 111:153338 itself.  The 2002 ACS            
          CAPLUS publication of record reads:                                          
               The title compds. R1R2NCH2CH2F (I) = [R1 = (substituted)                
               Ph, phenylalkyl, pyridyl, etc.; R2 = H, alkyl haloalkyl,                
               alkanoylalkyl, etc.; or R1R2 = carbazole, (substituted)                 
               phenothiazine, etc.; when R1 is substituted Ph, R2 is                   
               other than 2-fluoroethyl], useful as insecticides and                   
               microbicides [sic], were prepared.  A mixt. of PhNH2                    
               and BrCH2CH2F was heated at 60.degree. for 19 h to give                 
               N-(2-fluoroethyl)aniline.  A soln. contg. I (R1 = Ph,                   
               R2 = PhCH2CO) (conc. 500 ppm) gave 75% control of                       
               Pseudoperonospora cubensis.                                             
               We enter the following findings in light of material                    
          information in the 2002 ACS CAPLUS publication of CA 111:153338              
          (hereafter Hayase):                                                          
               (1) Hayase describes insecticidal and microbiocidal                     
          N-(2-fluoroethyl-), N-aryl- or N-heterocyclic-amines.  The                   
          N-(2-fluoroethyl-) substituent appears to be necessary for the               
          amines to exhibit insecticidal and/or microbiocidal activity.                
               (2) Hayase does not teach that N-aryl- or N-heterocyclic-               
          amines with N-fluoroalkyl-substituents other than the                        


                                          12
