          being unpatentable over Ogawa in view of Audousset and further in           
          view of Samain.                                                             
               Claim 63 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being             
          unpatentable over Ogawa in view of Audousset and further in view            
          of Aaslyng.

               The invention relates to an oxidative dyeing composition for           
          use on keratin fibers such as hair.  The invention includes at              
          least one heterocyclic oxidation base chosen from pyrazoles,                
          certain pyrimidines, pyrazolopyrimidines and the acid addition              
          salts thereof and at least one coupler chosen from 2-substituted            
          5-aminoalkylphenol derivatives and the acid addition salts                  
          thereof.  (Appeal Brief, page 2, line 18 - page 3, line 4).

               The examiner has found that Ogawa teaches a hair dyeing                
          composition including heterocyclic oxidation bases such as 2,5-             
          diaminopyridine and tetraaminopyridine and couplers of 2-                   
          substituted 5-aminoalkylphenol of the specified formula.                    
          (Examiner’s Answer, page 3, line 16 - page 3, line 21).  The                
          examiner has additionally found that Audousset teaches a hair
