             Application No. 10/304,514                                                                                

                                                      Summary                                                          
                     The examiner has not adequately shown that those of ordinary skill in the art,                    
             without knowledge of the present disclosure, would have found it obvious to include                       
             cinnamic acid or another unsaturated alkyl substituted with aromatic or non-aromatic                      
             cyclic groups in the composition disclosed by Ferrier.  We therefore reverse the                          
             rejections on appeal.
