Appeals 2006-2874 and 2006-2747
Applications 08/544,212 and 09/287,664
Patent 5,401,305
1 A product which is an oxide composition
2 produced by the process of oxidizing the
3 composition comprising the oxide precursor and
4 accelerant of any one of claims 1-29 and 31-32.
5
6 Claim 66 reads:
7 A product produced by the process of claim
8 65, wherein said oxidizing is effected in a
9 chemical vapor deposition process.
10
11 These claims depend from claims which are not subject to recapture.
12 Claims 1-27 are original patent claims. We have determined that
13 claims 28-29 and 31-32 are not subject to recapture. Accordingly, it
14 follows that claims 65-66 stand or fall with claims 28-29 and 31-32 and are
15 not subject to recapture.
16
17 Claims 28-29 and 31-32 (Appeal 2006-2474)
18 Claim 28 calls for a process for forming an oxide composition and
19 reads as follows:
20 A process for forming an oxide composition
21 comprising oxidizing a gaseous composition
22 comprising at least one precursor of a metal oxide
23 and an accelerant selected from the group
24 consisting of organic phosphites, organic borates,
25 and water so that when said precursor of a metal
26 oxide is a tin oxide precursor, and said accelerant
27 includes water, said composition also contains at
28 least one of said organic phosphites or organic
29 borates.
30
31 Claim 29 further limits the metal oxide to a Markush group of metal
32 oxides, including tin oxide.
33 Claim 31 is similar to claim 28.
