          Appeal No. 97-2174                                                           
          Application No. 08/214,763                                                   

          argument in his answer.  Thus, even if the applied references                
          were combined as proposed in the rejection, it is unclear to                 
          us and the examiner has not explained how the resulting                      
          combination would satisfy the dispersing aid limitations                     
          defined by the claims on appeal.                                             
               In light of the foregoing, we also cannot sustain the                   
          examiner’s section 103 rejection of claims 1 through 24 as                   
          being unpatentable over Moris in view of the Japanese                        
          reference.                                                                   
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
