Appeal 2007-0296 Application 09/873,714 (para. bridging cols. 6-7). In contrast, Maag's process employs a composition for coating metal substrates (as required by the appealed claims) in order to obtain coating thicknesses of 200-400 microns (col. 6, ll. 33-41). In light of these contrasts, there would have been no motivation to use the isobornyl (meth)acrylate of Brehm in the composition of Maag based on a reasonable expectation of success. Under the foregoing circumstances, we hereby reverse both of the Examiner's § 103 rejections of the appealed claims. The decision of the Examiner is reversed.
