               Claim 1, which is one of two independent claims, is                    
          illustrative of the subject matter encompassed by appellant’s               
          claims:                                                                     
                    1.   Ambient temperature curing coating composition               
               comprising                                                             








               - a polysiloxane having the formula                                    
               wherein each R1 is selected from alkyl, aryl, and                      
               alkoxy groups having up to six carbon atoms, reactive                  
               glycidoxy groups, and OSi(OR3)3 groups, wherein each R3                
               independently has the same meaning as R1, each R2 is                   
               selected from hydrogen and alkyl and aryl groups having up             
               to six carbon atoms, and wherein n is selected so that the             
               molecular weight of the polysiloxanes is in the range of               
               from 500 to about 2,000, and                                           
               - an alkoxysilyl-functional acrylic polymer                            
               - optionally water as curing agent,                                    
                    wherein said coating composition comprises more than              
               70% by weight solids.                                                  
               The sole prior art reference relied upon by the examiner is:           
          Yamaki et al. (Yamaki)       5,902,851               May 11, 1999
