          Appeal No. 1998-0159                                                        
          Application 08/410,029                                                      


          claimed polygonal collar, and recites its attribute as                      
          “resisting rotational displacement of the ferrule capillary 2               
          relative to the ferrule base 10.”  (Specification, page 5,                  
          lines 13 and 14.)                                                           
                    Accordingly, we find the Examiner has failed to set               
          forth a prima facie case.
