          unquestionable demonstration.  Our reviewing court requires                 
          this                                                                        


          evidence in order to establish a prima facie case.  In re                   
          Knapp-Monarch Co., 296 F.2d 230, 232, 132 USPQ 6, 8 (CCPA                   
          1961); In re Cofer, 354 F.2d 664, 668, 148 USPQ 268, 271-72                 
          (CCPA 1966).                                                                
               We have not sustained the rejection of claims 8 through                
          13 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Accordingly, the Examiner's                      
          decision is reversed.
