Ex parte NORDTVEDT - Page 7




          Appeal No. 96-1058                                                          
          Application 08/211,143                                                      


               Because we do not consider the teachings of the Nordtvedt              
          and Schuett references to have established prima facie                      
          obviousness of the claimed subject matter, we see no need to, and           
          therefore decline to, comment upon the Lien affidavit filed                 
          April 17, 1995.                                                             
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
