                  Appeal No. 1996-0848                                                                                                                    
                  Application 07/624,053                                                                                                                  


                  arguments and evidence presented by appellant outweigh the arguments and facts                                                          
                  provided by the examiner as to the question of whether Jones provides an enabling                                                       
                  disclosure which would have placed the claimed invention in the hands of the public.  Thus,                                             
                  we find that the examiner has failed to establish prima facie case of anticipation                                                      


                  within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 102(b).  Therefore, the rejection of claims 16-22, 24, 25,                                            
                  27-32, 34, 35, and 42 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is reversed.                                                                             
                                                                     SUMMARY                                                                              

                           To summarize,  the decision of the examiner to reject claims 16-22, 24, 25,                                                    
                  27-32, 34, 35, and 42 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph is reversed.  The decision of                                              
                  the examiner to reject claims 16-22, 24, 25, 27-32, 34, 35, and 42 under 35 U.S.C.

                                                                    REVERSED
