               Appeal No. 95-2052                                                                                                 
               Application 07/620,939                                                                                             


               declaration, filed under the provisions of 37 CFR § 1.132 and executed June 23, 1993, or the                       

               objective evidence presented  in the specification, pages 22 and 23.  Appellants rely on the Pastan                

               declaration and the specification evidence to rebut a prima facie case of obviousness if  a prima facie            

               case were established by the examiner.                                                                             



                      In conclusion, we do not sustain the rejection of claims 8, 10, 14 and 15 under 35 U.S.C. §                 

               103 as unpatentable over the combined disclosures of Batra 1989, Batra 1990, Pastan, Youle,  and                   

               Kondo.  The examiner's decision is reversed.
