          Appeal No. 1997-0236                                                        
          Application No. 08/211,829                                                  



          Johannsen would inherently pass a flame test, no support for                
          such position is forthcoming from the Examiner other than the               
          bald assertions mentioned above.                                            





               For all of the reasons discussed above, we are of the                  
          view that the Examiner has not established a prima facie case               
          of obviousness and, therefore, do not sustain the 35 U.S.C. §               
          103 rejection of any of the claims on appeal.  Accordingly,                 
          the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1-16 and 18-20 is                  
          reversed.                                                                   
                                   REVERSED
