and the transparent sheet without the use of any adhesive layer
including a double sided tape.
Accordingly, we shall not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, first paragraph, rejection of claims 22 through 36.
II. The 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) rejection of claims 22 through 25, 30,
31 and 35 as being anticipated by Grolig
Grolig discloses laminated safety glass having at least one
function layer embodying a desirable characteristic unrelated to
safety, e.g., the capability of reflecting heat and/or solar
radiation. As described by Grolig,
FIG. 1 shows a laminated safety glass which is composed
of a glass/polyvinylbutyral sheet/plastic sheet
comprising function layer/polyvinylbutyral sheet/glass
laminate. The coated plastic sheet layer 3, comprising
a substrate sheet 1 and one or more function layers 2,
projects beyond the edge of the other layers of the
laminate 18, which here are the polyvinylbutyral sheets
4, 5 in contact with both sides of the plastic sheet
layer 3 and also the glass panes 6 and 7 adjacent
thereto.
The material of the substrate sheet 1 is
polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide or polyether
sulfone . . . coated with a light-transparent, heat-
reflecting film 2 . . . composed, for example, of two
metal layers and two dielectric layers [column 4, lines
1 through 19].
Anticipation is established only when a single prior art
reference discloses, expressly or under principles of inherency,
each and every element of a claimed invention. RCA Corp. v.
