               This is a decision on an appeal from the final rejection               
          of claims 48-71 which are all of the claims remaining in the                
          application.                                                                
               The subject matter on appeal relates to a method for bonding           
          polyvinyl chloride to polyurethane comprising applying a solution           
          of a solvent and a resin containing free hydroxyl groups to a               
          polyvinyl chloride sheet, wherein the solvent is operative to allow
