               Appeal No. 95-0798                                                                                                    
               Application 08/042,200                                                                                                


               in the claimed process.   In the absence of such reasons or evidence, appellant’s disclosure must be                  
               taken as being in compliance with the enablement requirement of the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. §                    
               112.  The burden is on the examiner to establish an adequate basis to question the adequacy of                        
               appellant*s disclosure.  In re Marzocchi, 435 F.2d at 223-224, 169 USPQ at 370.  On this record,                      
               the examiner has not met his burden.                                                                                  
                       For the foregoing reasons,  we will not sustain the rejection.  Accordingly, the examiner’s                   
               decision rejecting claims 1-11 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, is reversed.
