Appeal No. 93-1883
Application No. 07/759,691
that the examiner has not met his burden of presenting a prima
facie case of obviousness. See In re Rijckaert, 9 F.3d 1531,2
2Having concluded that the examiner has not established a
prima facie case of obviousness, we will not assess the
sufficiency of the Rule 131 declarations of record referred to
by appellants. However, we observe that these Rule 131
declarations have not been executed by all of the listed
inventors in this application. See M.P.E.P. § 715.04 (Rev. 3,
July 1997); 37 CFR
§ 1.131(a)(1).
