Appeal No. 96-2721 Application No. 08/148,764 between the aryl group and the heterocyclic group is substantially different in the compounds of Kadin and Young (Young employs a Y substituent as a linking group between the aryl and heterocyclic groups), and the compounds of Kadin have only one non-carbon atom in the heterocyclic ring whereas the compounds of Young have two non-carbon atoms in the heterocyclic ring (X of Young is defined at column 3, lines4 19 et seq.). In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's decision rejecting the appealed claims is reversed. REVERSED EDWARD C.
