`
`Enclosed is a copy of the latest communication from the United States Patent and Trademark Office
`in the above-identified reexamination proceeding. 37 CFR 1.903.
`
`Prior to the filing of a Notice of Appeal, each time the patent owner responds to this communication,
`the third party requester of the inter partes reexamination may once file written comments within a
`period of 30 days from the date of service of the patent owner's response. This 30-day time period is
`statutory (35 U.S. C. 314(b)(2)), and, as such, it cannot be extended. See also 37 CFR 1.947.
`
`If an ex parte reexamination has been merged with the inter partes reexamination, no responsive
`submission by any ex parte third party requester is permitted.
`
`All correspondence relating to this inter partes reexamination proceeding should be directed to the
`Central Reexamination Unit at the mail, FAX, or hand-carry addresses given at the end of the
`communication enclosed with this transmittal.

`
`ENGLISH-ABST:
`
`The invention relates to the film products and methods of their preparation that demonstrate a
`non-self-aggregating uniform heterogeneity. Desirably, the films disintegrate in water and may
`be formed by a controlled drying process, or other process that maintains the required
`uniformity of the film. The films contain a polymer component, which includes polyethylene
`oxide optionally blended with hydrophilic cellulosic polymers. Desirably, the films also contain a
`pharmaceutical and/or cosmetic active agent with no more than a 10% variance of the active
