                Appeal 2007-1629                                                                             
                Application 10/138,337                                                                       
                      Here, to the extent that the Appellants have argued that the “cyclic . . .             
                hydrocarbons” has other meanings (see Br. 7), we reject these meanings and                   
                interpret the phrase to mean aromatic and non-aromatic cyclic hydrocarbons.                  
                      For the reasons discussed above, we conclude that the Examiner erred                   
                in rejecting Claims 1-13 and 17-19 as indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112,                      
                second paragraph.  The rejection is
