                                          DECISION ON APPEAL                                                    
                       This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 involving claims to                              
                antibodies that bind a particular polypeptide.  The Examiner has rejected the                   
                claims as lacking patentable utility.  We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C.                     
                § 6(b).  We affirm.
