1746 Ex Parte Gelli et al 13138548 - (D) DELMENDO 103 BREINER & BREINER, L.L.C. BLADES, JOHN A

The Appellants’ general reference to the Gelli Declaration, without specific citations to facts (e.g., experimental comparative data as distinguished from mere assertions), is insufficient to identify a reversible error in the Examiner’s rejection. Cf. In re Borkowski, 505 F.2d 713, 718 (CCPA 1974) (“The original and supplemental affidavits together with the accompanying comments do not adequately explain what facts or data appellants are relying upon ...”); In re Lindner, 457 F.2d 506, 508 (CCPA 1972) (“[M]ere conclusory statements in the specification and affidavits are entitled to little weight when the Patent Office questions the efficacy of those statements.”).
