          Appeal No. 2000-0873                                                        
          Application No. 08/975,983                                                  


          view of Canning, and claims 64 and 73 stand rejected as being               
          unpatentable further in view of Dowzall.  Each of these                     
          claims, through their dependency, includes recitations                      
          concerning specifying amounts of paint needed for each of the               
          plurality of paints of the mural.  We have carefully reviewed               
          the Canning and Dowzall references additionally relied upon in              
          these rejections but find nothing therein which makes up for                
          the deficiencies of Mayer, Milne and DePauw in this regard.                 
          Accordingly, we also shall not sustain the standing § 103                   
          rejections of these claims.                                                 
                                    Rejection (e)                                     
               Claims 65-68 and 74-76 stand rejected as being                         
          unpatentable over Mayer in view of Milne, DePauw, Dowzall and               
          Canning.                                                                    
               Claims 65, 68 and 74 of this grouping include recitations              
          about specifying amounts of paint needed for each of the                    
          plurality of paints of the mural, which, as indicated above,                




          are not taught by the applied references.  Thus, the standing               


                                          14
