                Appeal No. 2001-0690                                                                               
                Application No. 08/309,315                                                                         

                Where the examiner fails to establish a prima facie case, the rejection is                         
                improper and will be overturned.  See Fine.  Accordingly, we reverse the                           
                rejection of claims 7, 9-14 and 22-24 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                               
                unpatentable over Uckun.
