DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner’s
final rejection of claims 6, 8-12 and 14-19. Claim 6 and 12 are representative of
the subject matter on appeal, and read as follows:
6. A method of treating colon1 or rectum cancer comprising
administering to a mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a
non-fermented osmotic polyol laxative.
1 We note that the appendix to the Appeal Brief states “color” cancer, but our review of the file
indicates that the use of “color” for “colon” is a typographical error.
