          Appeal No. 2005-1076                                                        
          Application No. 10/047,941                                                  

          again emphasize that it is not for the Board to read appellants'            
          specification to find evidence in support of their conclusory               
          statement.  Manifestly, it is appellants' burden to point to                
          specific disclosures in the specification which enable one of               
          ordinary skill in the art to formulate a polymer having L                   
          moieties within the scope of the appealed claims.                           
               In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's                  
          decision rejecting the appealed claims is affirmed.                         
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
