Appeal 2007-1764
Application 10/391,320
Claim 1 is illustrative:
1. An apparatus comprising:
a first polymer layer carrying positively charged moieties and a
net positive charge, the first polymer layer including a member
selected from the group consisting of
poly(diallyldimethylammonium), poly(diallylammoniurn), and
poly(allylammonium);
a second polymer layer carrying negatively charged moieties
and a net negative charge, the second polymer layer including
poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene); and
a dielectric substrate;
said first and second polymer layers constituting a multilayer
coating on said dielectric substrate.
The Examiner relies upon the following references:

Appellants’ claimed invention is directed to an apparatus that includes
a first polymer layer carrying positively charged moieties and a net positive
charge, and a second polymer layer carrying negatively charged moieties
and a net negative charge wherein the first and second polymer layers
constitutes a multilayer coating on a dielectric substrate.
