          Appeal No. 95-4963                                                           
          Application No. 08/151,589                                                   


          indicated by the examiner, Bardhan’s bismuth titanate has a                  
          formula Bi Ti O , not the claimed formula Bi Ti O .  Although                
                    2 1.56                            4 3 12                           
          Bi Ti O  and Bi Ti O  have the same proportions of bismuth,                  
            2 1.56      4  312                                                         
          titanium and oxygen, the examiner has not established that the               
          differences in the total number of atoms and weight are not                  
          significant in the formation of a ferroelectric material                     
          having different structures or properties.                                   
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
