          Appeal No. 96-3622                                                          
          Application 29/019,382                                                      


          35 U.S.C. § 103, we would need to resort to speculation or                  
          unfounded assumptions to supply deficiencies in the factual basis           
          of the rejection.  In re Warner, 379 F.2d 1011, 1017,                       
          154 USPQ 173, 178 (CCPA 1967), cert. denied, 389 U.S. 1057                  
          (1968), reh’g denied, 390 U.S. 1000 (1968).  This we decline                
          to do.                                                                      



               In view of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner                 
          rejecting the design claim on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is               
          reversed.
