          Appeal No. 2000-1275                                                        
          Application No. 08/839,984                                                  


          makes clear, the purpose of the combination of Williams is to               
          provide a sticker that can be placed on or near a phone.  If                
          the adhesive were supplied on the first sheet of Williams then              
          the sticker or smaller sheet would become readily misplaced or              
          lost, obviating the purpose of the                                          
          Williams' invention.  For this reason, is to our view that it               







          would not have been obvious to place the adhesive on the                    
          repositionable securement strip of Williams rather than on the              
          smaller sticker.  The rejection is reversed.                                


                                      REVERSED
