Appeal No. 2005-1655 Page 2
Application No. 09/852,624
INTRODUCTION
The claimed subject matter relates to a cosmetic composition intended for treating keratin
fibers, i.e., hair. Claim 30 is illustrative:
30. A ready-to-use composition for the oxidation dyeing of
keratin fibers, comprising:
(a) at least one enzyme chosen from 2-electron oxidoreductases,
(b) at least one donor for said at least one enzyme,
(c) at least one anionic surfactant chosen from:
(i) acylisethionates;
(ii) acyltaurates;
(iii) acylsarcosinates;
(iv) acylglutamates;
(v) polyoxyalkylenated carboxylic ether acids and salts thereof;
(vi) fatty glucamide sulphates;
(vii) alkylgalactoside uronates; and
(viii) anionic derivatives of alkylpolyglucoside; and
(d) at least one oxidation base.
The claims are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). As evidence of unpatentability, the
Examiner relies upon the following prior art references:
Tomura et al. (Tomura) 6,027,719 Feb. 22, 2000
Lim et al. (Lim) 6,045,590 Apr. 4, 2000
Specifically, claims 30-46 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable
over Tomura in view of Lim.
We affirm substantially for the reasons advanced by the Examiner and we add the
following primarily for emphasis.
