Appeal No. 2004-1928 Page 9 Application No. 09/796,375 From the above calculations, both Diapers 2 and 4 have a proportion skew factor of the absorbent core length in the back section divided by the combined absorbent core length of the front section plus the central section to be less than about 0.10. Thus, the claimed proportion skew factor is disclosed in Roe. For the reasons set forth above, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 to 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is affirmed. CONCLUSION To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 to 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, is affirmed; and the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 to 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is affirmed.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
