          Appeal No. 95-3265                                                            
          Application 08/047,162                                                        

          editing in order to make the design rules of the combined                     
          database be the same, as recited in claims 1-9 and 14-22."                    
                    When the examiner is so challenged as to what was well              
          known and "pure common sense," the examiner is put to his proofs              
          to establish that which the examiner alleges to be well known by              
          producing objective evidence to support the examiner's                        
          allegations.  The examiner has failed in this burden in the                   
          instant case.                                                                 

























                                          -9-
