          Appeal No. 1995-3903                                      Page 20           
          Application No. 08/062,737                                                  


          generate one to initiate Main Task.  For the foregoing                      
          reasons, the examiner failed to show that Moon would have                   
          suggested the generation of an interrupt for each task of                   
          claim 45 and its dependent claims 46 and 47.  Therefore, we                 
          find that the examiner’s rejection does not amount to a prima               
          facie case of obviousness.                                                  


               Because the examiner has not established a prima facie                 
          case, the rejection of claims 38-42 and 45-47 over Moon is                  
          improper.  Therefore, we reverse the rejection of the claims                
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
