          Appeal No. 1996-1974                                                        
          Application No. 07/930,738                                                  


               With regard to the thickness of the polymer coating, we                
          agree with the examiner that the choice of a suitable                       
          thickness (which we presume to be a function of the coating                 
          weight relative to the weight of the carbon black particles)                
          would have been an obvious matter of routine optimization                   
          absent a showing of any                                                     


























                                          6
