Appeal 2007-1033 Application 10/091,061 result in a patent covering a method of using the combination of these two known chemotherapeutics, with predictable results, i.e., “a greater anti- cancer effect than would administering either capecitabine or Compound 1 alone.” (See, e.g., claim 117.) Issuing such a patent would take from the public’s hands that which it previously possessed. I would affirm the Examiner’s rejection of claims 117-130 under § 103(a). 13Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Next
