Appeal 2007-2440 Application 10/913,902 adhering to material of like nature and is known to those in the art. The cohesive is typically nonadhesive to dissimilar materials. These polymers are know[n] as cohesive or autoadhesive polymers. The cohesive layers are typically a thermoplastic elastomer material having cohesive properties at room temperature. The cohesive materials are characterized by physical cross-links which are labile and therefore may be rendered ineffective by processing techniques involving the application of heat. (Specification at 5:25 to 6:2; emphasis added.) 2. U.S. Patent 3,827,625, issued to Harmon B. Miller ("Miller") is styled "Reclosable Package and Controlled Release Paper for Use Therein" and teaches, in the words of the patent, "an improved release paper for pressure sensitive adhesive which is characterized by an improved ability to adhere to pressure sensitive adhesive." (Miller at 1:4–7.) 3. An embodiment of Miller's invention is illustrated in Miller Figure 5, which is shown below: {Miller Figure 1B is said to depict an embodiment of Miller's invention.} 4. Miller Figure 5 shows a sheet comprising a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive 12 on a paper base 13 overlying a release sheet comprising a release layer comprising stripes 5 of a release coating material on a layer 6 of paper; layers 11 and 7 are heat-sealing adhesive layers.
