Before GARRIS, WALTZ, and JEFFREY T. SMITH, Administrative Patent Judges.
WALTZ, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on an appeal from the primary examiner’s final rejection of
claims 55 through 60 and 62 through 107, which are the only claims pending in this
application. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 134.
According to appellants, the invention is directed to processes for producing tires
for vehicle wheels (e.g., claim 55), processes for preparing an elastomeric composition
(e.g., claims 62, 93, and 102), crosslinked manufactured products (e.g., claim 103), and
tires for vehicle wheels (e.g., claim 107), where the process for producing tires includes
a crosslinking step carried out essentially without the need for additional crosslinking
