                                                    __________                                                       
             Before SCHEINER, MILLS, and GRIMES, Administrative Patent Judges.                                       
             GRIMES, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                    

                                              DECISION ON APPEAL                                                     

                    This appeal involves claims to nucleic acids encoding a bitter taste receptor.  The              
             examiner has rejected the claims as lacking utility, non-enabled, and inadequately                      
             described.  We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 134.  We reverse all of the                          
             rejections.
