Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
A composition of matter comprising a blend comprising: (1) at least one condensation-based polyamide prepared by reaction of stoichiometric amounts of acid and amine functionality, and (2) at least one pressure sensitive acrylic polymer, the ratio by weight of the acrylic and polyamide polymers being 99.99:0.01 to 0.01:99.99, said blend being only organic solvent soluble and said blend being an uncrosslinked pressure sensitive adhesive.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The composition according to claim 1 wherein said blend further comprises at least one organic solvent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The composition according to claim 1 comprising at least 50% by weight of acrylic polymer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The composition according to claim 1 wherein the weight ratios of acrylic and polyamide polymers is in the range of 7:1 to 2:1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
The composition according to claim 1 wherein said polyamide incorporates polymerized fatty acid.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
The composition according to claim 1 wherein said polyamide is the reaction product of monomers or polymers which have amine-acid functionality in the same monomer or polymer in a free or latent form.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
