          Appeal No. 97-0292                                                          
          Application 07/814,779                                                      


               The appellants also note that “there is no clear teaching              
          in the examples of Cline utilizing 15% sole total filler or                 
          anything remotely close” (request, page 3) and contend that                 
          the “examples in Cline, however, have been wholly overlooked                
          by the Board” (request, page 4).  While it is true that there               
          is no specific example in Cline of utilizing 15% sole total                 
          filler, a reference                                                         
          must be evaluated for all it teaches and is not limited to its              
          specific examples.  In re Snow, 471 F.2d 1400, 1403, 176 USPQ               
          328, 329 (CCPA 1973).                                                       
               The appellants’ request is granted to the extent of                    
          reconsidering our decision, but is denied with respect to                   
          making any changes therein.                                                 
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).                                                                 
                                       DENIED                                         







                                          5
