          Appeal No. 1996-0721                                                          
          Application No. 08/036,640                                                    


          skill in the art would have been led away from substituting                   
          the claimed halophenyl for (CH) C H  of the generic formula                   
                                          n 65                                          
          described in Korger.                                                          
               Accordingly, we reverse the examiner’s decision rejecting                
          claims 14 through 26 and 28 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as                          
          unpatentable over the combined disclosures of Korger, McLamore                
          and Lucius.                                                                   
               As a final point, we note that U.S. Patent 2,979,437,                    
          Chemical Abstracts, Farmaco. Ed. Sci. and Bulletin De La                      
          Societe Chimique referred to at page 2 of the specification                   
          appear to fully describe compounds which are embraced by the                  
          claimed formula.  Upon return of this application, the                        
          examiner is to determine whether they affect the patentability                
          of the claimed subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 102 or § 103.                 
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                       
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                      
          § 1.136(a).                                                                   
                                       REVERSED
