Appeal No. 2007-0218
Application No. 10/730,143
halide contains silver iodide “in an amount of 40 % to 100 % by mole” (id.),
that “the reducing agent contains a compound represented by . . . formula (R-
1)” (id. at 5-6), and that the “reducing agent may further contain a compound
represented by formula (R-2) or (R-3)” (id. at 13). Formulas (R-1), (R-2),
and (R-3) each represent a 2,4-dialkyl substituted orthobisphenol (see
Suzuki,1 col. 15, ll. 35-55).
DISCUSSION
1. CLAIMS
Claims 1-5 and 8-10 are pending and on appeal. The claims subject to
each rejection have not been argued separately and therefore stand or fall
together. 37 C.F.R. § 41.37(c)(1)(vii). We will focus on claims 1 and 2,
which are representative and read as follows:
1. A photothermographic material comprising a photosensitive silver
halide, a non-photosensitive organic silver salt, a reducing agent, and a
binder on at least one surface of a support, wherein silver iodide is contained
in the photosensitive silver halide in an amount of 40 % to 100 % by mole,
and the reducing agent contains a compound represented by the following
formula (R-1):
