                Appeal 2007-1135                                                                             
                Application 09/986,264                                                                       
                   7.    articles upon which a cleansing benefit is dispersed, are water-                    
                         activated articles and “are therefore intended to be wetted with                    
                         water prior to use” (Beck 56: 11-12; see generally Answer 4).                       
                   8.    an article, suitable for personal care applications, that “consists of a            
                         two layer substrate sheet, a cleansing component disposed adjacent                  
                         to the substrate sheet, and a therapeutic benefit component which                   
                         is also disposed adjacent to the substrate sheet . . .” (Beck 2: 9-15;              
                         see generally Answer 4).                                                            
                   9. an article that comprises “one or more additional layers which one                     
                         having ordinary skill in the art would recognize as separate and                    
                         distinct from the first and second substrate layers yet which are                   
                         attached to these layers at some point” (Beck 53: 30-32).  The                      
                         additional layers may “be referred to as consecutively numbered                     
                         layers in addition to the two essential layers of the articles of the               
                         present invention, e.g., third layer, fourth layer, etc.” (Beck 54: 4-              
                         7).                                                                                 
                   10. that the articles comprise a cleansing component, e.g., a surfactant                  
                         (Beck 13: 15-21; Answer 4).                                                         
                   11. that “it is preferred that the skin or hair is first contacted and                    
                         cleansed with a surface of the article and is then contacted with                   
                         another surface that contains the therapeutic benefit component”                    
                         (Beck 55: 25-27).                                                                   
                   12. that “the therapeutic benefit component is disposed on a surface of                   
                         the first and/or second substrate layer in at least one location in a               
                         form selected from the group consisting of shapes, designs, logos,                  
                         and combinations thereof” (Beck 23: 7-9; see generally Answer 4).                   

                                                     6
