          Appeal No. 96-0150                                                          
          Application No. 07/969,244                                                  


          possibilities".  In re Oelrich, 666 F.2d 578, 581, 212 USPQ                 
          323, 326 (CCPA 1981).  In addition, Nakai, the "secondary                   
          reference" relied on by the examiner, contains no express                   
          disclosures regarding "the other properties" deemed to be                   
          inherent in Sasagawa’s carbon black.  Thus, as applied, Nakai               
          does not remedy the fundamental deficiencies in Sasagawa’s                  
          disclosures.  Accordingly, we are constrained to reverse the                
          stated rejection of the appealed claims.                                    
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
