                Appeal No. 2002-1254                                                  Page 7                  
                Application No. 09/411,381                                                                    

                required by the pharmaceutical composition of claim 23.  Therefore, Latter does               
                not render obvious the pharmaceutical compositions of claims 28 and 29, which                 
                depend on claim 23.  The rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                         
                                                  Summary                                                     
                      Appellant has provided evidence that the prior art disclosures would not                
                have enabled those skilled in the art to make the claimed compositions.  The                  
                rejections on appeal are reversed because they are not supported by a                         
                preponderance of the evidence in the record.                                                  


                                                 REVERSED
