Applicant claims component with 35% and 60%. No promises answer were in this order 1. Examiner can reject on 102 only 2. Examiner can reject on 103 only 3. Examiner can reject on 102 and 103 4.? 5.? I went with "103 only" because 35 and 60 weren't strictly anticipated but close enough so PHOSITA would expect no change in properties (KSR) to make it obvious. Passed. Got a variant on this 1/23/12

I went with “103 only” because 35 and 60 weren’t strictly anticipated but close enough so PHOSITA would expect no change in properties (KSR) to make it obvious.

Passed.
