                  Appeal No. 1998-0784                                                                                           Page 7                     
                  Application No. 07/949,567                                                                                                                


                           As all the other claims on appeal depend from claim 1, we conclude that the Examiner                                             
                  has failed to establish a prima facie case of obviousness with respect to the subject matter of                                           
                  claims 1, 4-9, 14, 16-18, and 24.                                                                                                         


                                                                   OTHER ISSUES                                                                             
                           The language used on line 9 of claim 1 appears to be inaccurate.  It appears that “finished                                      
                  product” is meant to read “finished base plate” as that is the language used in the specification at                                      
                  page 7, line 32 and “product” is used in the preamble of the claim to refer to the concrete article                                       
                  formed and not to the base plate.  We trust that the Appellant and Examiner will resolve                                                  
                  inconsistency in the claim.
