Appellants’ claimed invention is directed to a laminated film
comprising two resin layers, a structure including such a laminated film, and
a method for forming the structure. The structure can be used in making car

1. A laminated film comprising:
(i) a resin layer (A) containing an acrylic resin, and
(ii) a resin layer (B) containing a resin composition, which
composition comprises:
(a) 10 to 98% by weight of a propylene polymer,
(b) 1 to 60% by weight of an inorganic filler, and
(c) 1 to 60% by weight of a thermoplastic elastomer, provided
that the sum of the components (a), (b) and (c) is 100% by weight.
The Examiner relies on the following references as prior art evidence
in rejecting the appealed claims:
Spain US 5,725,712 Mar. 10, 1998
