HUYNH, THU V

When Appellants submit new affidavits not considered previously to make a new record, thus presenting different questions of patentability, the doctrine of res judicata does not apply “even if the claims are viewed as identical to those in the prior case.” In re Russell, 439 F.2d 1228, 1230 (CCPA 1971).
