                  Application 08/192,027                                                                                                                  


                  that the claims reasonably encompass this type of indicia or pattern, the examiner should                                               
                  make the appropriate review of the prior art to determine if this aspect of the claimed                                                 
                  subject matter distinguishes over the prior art.

                           We reverse the rejection of claims 1-19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
