                 Application No.  09/748,466                                                                           
                 that the amount of insulin present in the composition disclosed by Hinson is                          
                 ineffective in their claimed method, or that Hinson’s composition is distinct from                    
                 the composition consisting essentially of insulin as set forth in appellants’ claimed                 
                 method.                                                                                               
                        Accordingly, we affirm the rejection of claim 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as                    
                 anticipated by Hinson.  As discussed supra claims 9-14 and 16 fall together with                      
                 claim 5.                                                                                              
                        No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this                        
                 appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
