Appeal 2006-2867
Application 10/771,969
88, 89, 99, and 100 are the only other claims pending in this application.
These claims have been objected to by the Examiner as depending on a
rejected claim but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form,
including all the limitations of the base claim (Br. 2). We have jurisdiction
pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 6 and 134.
According to Appellants, the invention is directed to a roll of wet
wipes comprising a wetting composition with at least about 1 weight percent
of inorganic salt (Br. 3). Further details of the invention may be gleaned
from representative independent claim 81 as reproduced below:
81. A roll of wet wipes, comprising:
a roll having at least 300 linear inches of wet wipes, the wet wipes
having a width of not more than about 4.5 inches; and
a wetting composition comprising at least about 1 weight percent of
inorganic salt, based on the weight of the wetting composition;
wherein the wet wipes are in a spiral; and
the diameter of the roll is at least about 2 inches and no greater than
about 5.5 inches.
In addition to the admitted prior art (hereafter the APA) and co-
pending Application No. 10/664,342, the Examiner has relied on the
following references as evidence of unpatentability:
