               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 .
