          Appeal No. 1996-0455                                                        
          Application No. 07/511,778                                                  




               With respect to the decoding of a primary instruction,                 
          and the decoding of a sub-instruction when needed by the                    
          primary instruction in claim 11, the examiner has not stated                
          where such instruction decoding can be found in Katsura.  The               
          obviousness rejection of claim 11 is, therefore, reversed                   
          because of the lack of a prima facie case of obviousness.
