          Appeal No. 97-2554                                                          
          Application No. 08/164,112                                                  


               a panel of two odor specialists who independently                      
               rank the urine-wet odor of the samples on a scale of                   
               1 (least) to 10 (most) for malodor and intensity.                      
               Samples yielding an odor ranking below about 3.0                       
               possess an odor which would hardly be noticed by the                   
               general public.                                                        
          As a result of these tests (page 13, lines 3 to 7):                         
                    If the surface-active agent coated test sample                    
               receives a lower average ranking for malodor and                       
               intensity than the non-surface-active agent coated                     
               test sample (control), the surface-active agent                        
               being tested is considered effective to reduce the                     
               odor of urine.
