                Appeal 2007-0296                                                                                
                Application 09/873,714                                                                          

                       The Appellants claim a process for repair coating of vehicle substrates                  
                which comprises applying to a metal substrate a filler coating composition                      
                which includes (A) a binder having free-radically polymerizable olefinic                        
                double bond(s), (B) a free-radically polymerizable reactive diluent                             
                comprising a (meth)acrylic acid ester formed by reacting (meth)acrylic acid                     
                with a cycloaliphatic alcohol, and (C) a compound having a phosphoric acid                      
                group and at least one free-radically polymerizable double bond.  Further                       
                details regarding this claimed process are set forth in representative claims 1                 
                and 8, which read as follows:                                                                   
                       1.  A process for repair coating of vehicle substrates which comprises:                  
                       a)  applying a filler layer of a filler coating composition to a metal                   
                substrate,                                                                                      
                       b)  curing the resultant filler layer by irradiations with high energy                   
                radiation and                                                                                   
                       c)  applying a top coat layer to the cured filler layer and curing the top               
                coat layer,                                                                                     
                wherein the liquid filler coating composition comprises                                         
                       (A)  15-60 weight-% of at least one free-radically polymerizable                         
                binder comprising at least one free-radically polymerizable olefinic double                     
                bond, said binder having fewer than three of said olefinic double bonds per                     
                molecule,                                                                                       
                       B)  40-85 weight-% of a free-radically polymerizable reactive diluent                    
                comprising at least one (meth)acrylic acid ester having an olefinic double                      
                bond, said at least one (meth)acrylic acid ester being formed by reacting                       
                (meth)acrylic acid with at least one cycloaliphatic alcohol, wherein the                        
                weight-% of components A) and B) adds up to 100 weight-%, and                                   


                                                       2
