Appeal No. 2007-1487 Application 09/562,632 Claim 1 illustrates Appellants’ invention of a coating, and is representative of the claims on appeal: 1. A coating composition comprising a) 30 to 95 wt.% of an aqueous, hydroxy-functional, acid-group containing resin dispersion, said dispersion having an hydroxyl value of from 8 to 264 mg KOH/g resin solids and an acid value of from 3 to 100 mg KOH/g resin solids, b) 5 to 70 wt.% of a polyisocyanate component having a free isocyanate group content of 5 to 50 wt.% and a viscosity of 5 to 10,000 mPa.s at 23°C and D = 40s-1 and c) 0.1 to 10 wt.% of an epoxy functional silane component, inert to isocyanate groups and reactive with acid groups in said dispersion via epoxy groups, of the general formula (|) X | W―(CH2)n―Si―Y (|) | Z wherein W denotes the group O O or O (CH2)m CH CH2 with m = 1 to 4 and n denotes a whole number from 2 – 4 and X, Y, Z represent, independently of one another, the same or different organic groups with 1 to 30 atoms, with the proviso that at least one of the groups represents an alkoxy group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Next
