`
`reviewed. Tire preceding arnendrnents and the foiiewing remarks ferrn a fuii and cornpiete
`

`
`in the Qffice Actien, eiairns L11 are pending. Ciaiuts 1()—11 have been
`
`witiidrawn. Ciairn 1 is curreritiy amended. Support far this arnendrnent can be feund, inter aim,

`

`
`rejections is respectfuiiy requested in View ef the abeve arnendrnents and the foiicwirig remarks.
`
`
`Reectiens Under 35 13.3.13.
`
`
`;;
`
`Ciairris L4 and 8 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 162th) as being anticipated by US.
`
`Patent Puiaiicatien Ne. 21303/'(318€1357 tn Martirio, et a1. {"‘1\/1artine”). Appiicants respectfuiiy
`
`subrnit that Martino does net describe each and every element of amended independent claim 1.
`
`in response tn Applicants’ previous arguments, the tuttstanding Office Action stated that
`
`“as written, the eiaini eriiy requires a specified appearance and does net require the speciries to
`
`comprise ceiered sugar grannies.” See Office Actien, page 7?. Ciairn I has been amended tc
`
`eiarify that the speciries comprise ceiered granules cf a water~seiui:i1e sugar. As amended, claim
`
`1 provides that the specides are attribtttabie tn the colored grannies ef watepseiubie sugar.
`
`Appiieants traverse the rejection because Martino faiis to describe “speciries eorriprisin.g eeiored
`
`grannies of a waterwseiubie sugar.”
`
`In Martino, rnarinitoi and a dye are biended in a 1iigti—s1rear mixer. See Martino,
`
`paragraph {@085}. The resuit of the precess in Martirie is a. “iietnogencus mixture at“ niarrnitni
`
`and dye,” not entered granules at’ a waternsoiubte sugar. Id.
`
`in Martina, tire specified appearance
`
`is attributed tn enter “bleeding” into the casting attire ioeus of each dye particie. See Martino,
`
`

`
`US, Serial No. l2/811,737
`Response to Office Action dated 91 l2.’ l2
`Page 5
`
`paragraph Etltllfll. The specirletl appearance is, thus, attrlltiutahle to the aqueous coating;
`
`composition comprising gellan gum? not colored granules of a watensoluhle sugar.
`
`Id‘.
`
`In contrast, the present invention provitles for “speclrles comprising colored granules of a
`
`watensoluhle sugar” and does not require a coating for a speeltletl appearance. As described in
`
`the specification, the protittctiou of these speclrles involves “granulation of the water—solul'3le
`
`sugar with an aqueous suspension or solution of the coloring agent in a suitable fluid hetl
`
`granulator.” See Specification, page 9, line l5. Thus, it is clear hoth from the claim language
`
`and the specification of the present inverition that the speclrles comprise granules of colored
`
`watensoluble sugar. Accordingly, Applicants submit that Martino does not describe each and
`
`every element of claim 1. Since claims 24 and El depend on claim l, these claims are not
`
`anticipated by hlaitiuo for at least the same reason as claim l. Tlierefore, Applicants
`
`respectfully reqiiest that the rejection be withdrawn.
`
`lleeetions linder 35 ll.S.C. 1:: lot? a
`
`
`
`
`ln the outstanding Office Action, claims l~4 and 84;? were rejected under 35 l_l.S.€."I. §
`
`l03(a) as being obvious over Martino. Additionally, claims 1-9 were rejected under 35 ll.S.C. §
`
`l03(a) as being obvious over Martino in View of US. Patent l’ul)licati.on No. 2904/G2l3855 to
`
`Pettersson, et al. (“l’ettersson”§. Applicants respectfully submit that a primufacie conclusion of
`
`clwiousness is not warranted because all of the elements of arnentletl. claim l are not in the prior
`
`art, either alone or in comhirration.
`
`As discussed altove, Martino fails to tlescrilae (or otherwise teach or suggest) “soecltles
`
`comprising colored granules of a watensoluhle sugar.” Furthermore, it/lartino fails to teach or
`
`suggest “specirles comprising colored granules of a water—soluble sugar.” As claims 2-4 and 343
`
`depend on claim 1, all of the previously rejected claims include the feature, “speclrles comprising
`
`

`
`US. Serial No. 121811337
`Response to Gffice Aeticri dated 9/ 12! 12
`Page 6
`
`coiored grannies of a water»sei’ubie sugar.” As this feature is not taught or described in the cited
`
`art, Appiicants submit that the cieirns are not ebvieus ever Martino fer at least for this reason.
`
`Aeccrdingiy, Applicants submit that the rejection of claims 1-4 and tie‘) based on Martino stone
`
`is untenable and shettiti be withdrawn.
`
`Moreover, Pettersscn fails to remedy the deficiencies of Msrtinc. Pettersseh is directed
`
`to tsbiets with rrianriitei having 3. particle size from 250 to 450 grin. Petterssen, however, does
`
`not describe, teach, er suggest “entered grannies ci’ 3 water»sohtbie sugar.” Therefore, amended
`
`ciainis 1-9 are net ehvious in View of the cited art. Accerdingiy, Applicants respectfully request
`
`that the rejection be withdrawn.
`

`
`Ail of the stated greuneis cf objection and rej ecticri have been properiy traversed,
`
`accemrnedated, or rendered rnoott Appiicents therefore respectfuhy request that the Examiner
`
