              Appeal No. 1999-1951                                                                           9                
              Application No. 08/797,062                                                                                      

              The examiner’s position in this respect is that, “[t]here is no showing that                                    

              Griswold’s polyether polyol used in Example 1 has an end group unsaturation higher                              

              than [that] claimed in the instant invention.”  See Answer, page 10.  The burden of                             

              proof however, is on the examiner to establish a prima facie case of obviousness with                           

              respect to that specific limitation in the claimed subject matter.  This burden has not been                    

              met.
