Appeal No. 2006-2268
Application No. 10/468,448
582-83 (CCPA 1974). Appellants argue that Bremser ‘502 does
not disclose an addition copolymer polymerized in an aqueous
medium comprising the reaction product (A/B) of an addition
copolymer (A) with an isocyanate-reactive functional groups
reacted with a polyisocyanate (B). Appellants further state
that Bremser ‘502 only discloses a cured film that is a
reaction product of (A/B), and not a composition with an
additional, free radically (co)polymerized copolymer prepared
in the aqueous medium comprising the reaction product (A/B) as
required by the appealed claims. (Brief, pp. 5-6 and Reply
Brief, pp. 3-4). We agree. The Examiner’s discussion of the
Bremser reference identifies the components which formulate the
reaction product of (A/B) as specified by independent claim 1.
However, the Examiner has not identified the component which
corresponds to the unsaturated monomer (a) as specified in
