             Appeal No. 2007-0744                                                                               
             Application No. 10/007,866                                                                         
             no evidence to support their position that the resulting compound of example 1                     
             necessarily, inherently has a carboxylic acid content of 10.57% and evidence that the              
             carboxylic acid content of 10.57% directly converts to an acid number of 133.9.   Such             
             evidence may be made in the form of a Declaration under 37 C.F.R. §1.132.                          
                   In view of the absence of such evidence in the present case, the written                     
             description rejection is affirmed.                                                                 
                                                CONCLUSION                                                      
                   The rejection of claim 36 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph for failing to              
             comply with the written description requirement is affirmed.                                       
                   No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal               
             may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
