invention. The specification describes the formation of coating
compositions from a polyisocyanate component, a hydroxy
group-containing film forming polymer component and a diol component.
These components are mixed together to form the coating composition.
(Specification, pp. 13-19). The specification does not disclose that the
polyisocyanate component and the diol component are first mixed
together to form a polyurethane component and subsequently mixed with
the hydroxy group-containing film forming polymer component to form the
coating composition. Neither Ho nor Mayer describes or suggests a
coating composition as claimed.
The rejections of claims 1, 2, 4, 5 and 12 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102(e) as anticipated by Ho; claims 1 to 3, 5 and 12 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102(e) as anticipated by Mayer; and claim 3 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
as unpatentable over Ho are reversed.
