          Application No. 08/342,955                                                   


                                      CONCLUSION                                       
               Based on the present record, we are unpersuaded that the                
         examiner has met the initial burden of establishing a prima                   
         facie case of obviousness of the claimed composition. The                     
         decision of the examiner is reversed.                                         


                                       REVERSED
