Appeal 2006-1543
Application 10/239,769
The Examiner finds that there is no support in the original disclosure
for the embodiment of newly added Figure 2. Namely, there is no support
for applying a treatment agent to heated belt 2 of the belt dryer and
subsequently transferring the treatment agent to web 10 as shown in Figure
2.
Figure 2 is reproduced below:
Figure 2 - A diagrammic view of the added embodiment of the invention in
which a treatment agent within feed chamber 23 is applied to the dryer belt 2
which transfers the treatment agent to the web 10.
Appellants argue that the objection/rejection is incorrect as the matter
sought to be added to the Specification is not “new matter” since it was
disclosed in the text of the Specification and the Claims originally filed in
the U.S. on September 24, 2002 and appears in the PCT application filed
