Appeal 2007-0410
Application 10/414,066
In sum, the difficulty we have with the explanation of the alleged
motivation/suggestion for the proposed modification of Mori by the
Examiner is that, the asserted case law has not been shown to be sufficiently
related to the facts at hand to offset the expectation that one of ordinary skill
in the art would use the disclosed selection criteria of Mori, the applied
primary reference, in forming the luminescent layer composition. Further,
the Examiner has not established with any particularity that the F8BT
polymer of Burroughes and the compound (A-7) of Hosokawa represent art
recognized suitable organic luminescent layer components that would have
been expected to possess oxidation and reduction potential relationships
therebetween, according to the criteria of Mori, so as to lead one of ordinary
skill in the art toward selection thereof for use in combination. Nor has the
Examiner otherwise established a particularized suggestion that would have
led one of ordinary skill in the art to select and employ compound (A-7) of
Hosokawa in combination with the f8BT polymer of Burroughes in a
luminescent layer of a light emitting device according to Mori.
