             Appeal No. 2001-0980                                                                             
             Application 08/953,146                                                                           

             second contained thimerosal, the third contained benzyl alcohol, and the fourth                  
             contained a combination of methylparaben and propylparaben.  In reading the full text            
             document, we do not find a teaching or suggestion that benzyl alcohol should be used             
             in combination with methylparaben as required by the claims on appeal.                           
                   The decision of the examiner is reversed.                                                  

                                                 REVERSED
