          Appeal No. 2003-0529                                                        
          Application No. 09/213,045                                                  

                                    Remand Order                                      
               Upon return of this application to the examiner’s                      
          jurisdiction, the appellants and the examiner should analyze                
          whether one of ordinary skill in the art would have considered              
          the subject matter of the appealed claims to have been obvious              
          over Wixon, alone or in combination with other prior art, within            
          the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                             
               In addition, the appellants and the examiner should                    
          consider whether there is adequate written description in the               
          original specification for the subject matter of appealed claim             
          7, which was added by amendment on Mar. 28, 2001 (paper 19).                
          Specifically, we note that appealed claim 7 recites: “wherein               
          transparent bottle has light transmittance of greater than 25%              
          at wavelength of about 410-8000 nm.”  (Emphasis added.)
