               Appeal No. 2006-1615                                                                                                 
               Application  No. 10/311,307                                                                                          
               interpreted by one of ordinary skill in the art.  See In re Angstadt, 537 F.2d 498, 501, 190 USPQ 214,               
               217 (CCPA 1976).                                                                                                     
                       For the reasons discussed, supra, one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that this                 
               claimed language conveys that the group (or oxygen atom in the form of an ether function) is bonded                  
               to the carbon atom of the double bond.                                                                               
                       In view of the above, we therefore reverse the 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph rejection.                  

               III.  Conclusion                                                                                                     
                       Each of the rejections is reversed.
