Appeal 2007-4316 Application 09/911,268 FURTHER ORDERED that that the rejection of claims 1–17 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) in view of the combined teachings of Eckel 930 and Castelnuovo is REVERSED. REVERSED SCHAFER, Administrative Patent Judge, dissenting. I would affirm the rejections. Applicants have failed to show that the specific compositions relied upon by the examiner do not have less than 1% IPP. The fact that the reference is silent on the presence of IPP provides a sufficient basis to place on applicants the burden of presenting evidence that the relevant Eckels 930 compositions had 1% or more IPP .
