Appeal 2007-0533
Application 09/930,320
of performance agents; and at least one variant from said second class of
performance agents;
(e) dosing, in a predetermined sequence, the consumer selected
personal care base composition and performance agents into a container to
form a personal care product; and
(f) mixing said personal care product until the product is uniform;
wherein said first and second class of performance agents are independently
selected from fragrances, colorants, benefit agents and blends thereof; and
(g) wherein said first and second class of performance agents do not
include a thickener component other than component(s) selected from
botanical extracts, emollients, vegetable oils, active agents for treating or
preventing skin disorders, vitamins, fragrances and colorants.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein a customized label is applied to the
container identifying the product and only the components of the base
formula and dosed performance agents contained therein.
24. The method of claim 22 wherein said container has a neck; a cap
without an orifice is used to cap said container to improve mixing efficiency
when said container’s contents are blended by a mixing device while said
container is situated in a position substantially inverted from its filling
position.
Claim 1 reads the same as it did in Appeal 2005-1428 except for the
addition of clause (g): the first and second classes of performance agents do
not include thickeners that are not also in one of several specific classes of
performance agents (botanical extracts, emollients, etc.).
Claim 6 depends on claim 1 and adds the limitation that a label is
applied to the container that identifies the components of the personal care
composition. Claim 24 also depends (indirectly) on claim 1 and defines the
size and configuration of the container.
