                                         DECISION ON APPEAL                                                                   
                      This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 involving claims to a curable                                   
               composition.  The Examiner has rejected the claims as anticipated or                                           
               obvious.  We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 6(b).  We affirm.                                             
                                             BACKGROUND                                                                       
                      The specification describes a curable composition comprising                                            
               specified first and second monomers.  (Specification 2-3.)  The specification                                  
               states that this composition can be cured to provide an organic glass,                                         
               particularly, a plastic lens.  (Id. at 4.)
