                   Appeal No.  2006-0266                                                                  Page 7                     
                   Application No.  09/867,235                                                                                       
                   to explain why the application of the composition set forth in Example 2 of                                       
                   Rouquet, would not result in enhancing the delivery of the oil-soluble skin care                                  
                   active (octyl methoxycinnamate) into the skin.  Therefore, we find the Robinson                                   
                   Declaration insufficient to overcome the rejection of record.                                                     
                           For the foregoing reasons, we find no error in the rejection of record.                                   
                   Accordingly, we affirm the rejection of claim 27 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as                                      
                   anticipated by Rouquet.  As set forth above, claims 28-31 fall together with claim                                
                   27.                                                                                                               
                           No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this                                   
                   appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
