                Appeal 2007-1679                                                                             
                Application 11/041,470                                                                       

                      As for the requirement of claims 30 and 43 that the "hardening of the                  
                composition on an ophthalmic lens substrate results in an abrasive resistant                 
                coating that is also shock resistant," the claim recitation is simply one of                 
                intended use that does not further distinguish the claimed hardenable                        
                composition from the composition of Fujioka.                                                 
                      The remaining separately argued claims have been adequately                            
                addressed by the Examiner.                                                                   
                      In conclusion, based on the foregoing and the reasons well stated by                   
                the Examiner, the Examiner's decision rejecting the appealed claims in                       
                affirmed.                                                                                    
                      No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                     
                this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(iv)(effective Sept.
