          Application 08/009,200                                                      


          1087, 37 USPQ2d at 1239, citing W. L. Gore & Assocs., Inc. v.               
          Garlock, Inc., 721 F.2d at 1551, 1553, 220 USPQ at 311, 312-13.             
          Upon reviewing Aasen, we fail to find any suggested desirability            
          of modifying the Aasen system as recited in Appellant’s claims 1            
          through 8.                                                                  
               We have not sustained the rejection of claims 1 through 8              
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Accordingly, the Examiner's decision is             
          reversed.
