Appeal No. 2003-0059
Application 09/238,553
establishing both of the following: 1) that one of ordinary skill
in the art would have expected the Freedman ‘165 UV curable
varnish, when applied to a second layer made of Eckberg’s
epoxysilicone, to function as required by Freedman ‘165, i.e., to
adhere to the second layer and, when exposed to UV radiation,
bend up the edge of the label, and 2) that the UV curable varnish
and epoxysilicone polymer layer would be separable from each
other when a label containing these layers is pulled from a
surface as required by the appellants’ claims. The examiner has
not carried this burden.
