polymer protection as well as for cosmetic preparations. For example,
Duennenberger I teaches a variety of hydroxyaryl triazines as being useful
for UV protection of a variety of organic materials, including textiles, resins,
polymers, and cosmetic preparations, including sunburn oils and creams
(col. 4, l. 46- col. 6, l. 31).
Duennenberger II is directed to hydroxyaryl triazines that are
described as being useful as UV stabilizers for: organic materials including,
inter alia: textile materials such as natural materials or synthetic polymer
materials; lacquers and films such as polyamides and polypropylene,
polyesters, etc.; natural or synthetic resins; rubbers; and cosmetic
preparations (col. 5, l. 18- col. 6, l. 73). Biland teaches hydroxyphenyl
triazines that are said to be useful as UV protectors for organic materials
such as natural and synthetic polymer textiles, lacquers and films including
polymeric films, natural or synthetic resins, rubbers, and cosmetic
preparations (col. 14, l. 15 – col. 15, l. 71). Schellenbaum and Grossmann
disclose hydroxyphenyl triazines that are useful as a UV protector for
organic materials (Schellenbaum; col. 9, l. 8 – col. 10, l. 69; Grossmann; col.
1, ll. 33-37).
Hence, the combined teachings of the applied references collectively
would have suggested that hydroxyphenyl triazines, such as disclosed by
Hardy and Susi, would have been reasonably expected by one of ordinary
skill in the art to be useful for UV protection of organic materials such as
found in cosmetic formulations in addition to the protection of plastic or
polymer materials, as was focused on and specifically described in Hardy
and Susi. In this regard, Appellants' contentions to the effect that Hardy or
Susi is too broad in the description of the disclosed genus of compounds and
