                      Appeal No. 1996-0605                                                                                                                
                      Application 07/989,593                                                                                                              




                      believes, after this reevaluation, that the claims on appeal are unpatentable, he                                                   
                      should issue an appropriate Office Action setting forth the rejection.  In so doing,                                                
                      we urge the examiner to use the model set forth in MPEP § 706.02(j) for any                                                         
                      rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Adherence to this model will of necessity make                                                    
                      the examiner examine the claims on appeal on an individual basis, using the

                               The rejection of claims 8, 11, 14 and 23-32 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as

                      11, 14 and 23-32 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over
