We do not think a person skilled in the art would read claim 40 to permit the contradiction or impossibility suggested by the Examiner, where the assembly step of applying adhesive to “at least four of said containers” might not result in a completed pack with each container having an intragroup bond. See, e.g., In re Wolfensperger, 302 F. 2d 950 (CCPA 1962) (A disclosure should not be considered lacking due to speculation that one skilled in the art might interpret the teaching of the inventor in a remote and equivocal manner). Accordingly, we do not sustain the Examiner’s §112(a) rejection or the Examiner’s new matter objection based on the same premise.
