              Application 07/747,670                                                                                    



              reasons of unpatentability.  In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d 1443. 1446, 24 USPQ2d 1443, 1445 (Fed.               
              Cir. 1992).                                                                                               
                     Since the examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness, we need not              
              consider the Jolicoeur declaration filed under 37 CFR § 1.132 filed on January 28, 1993.                  
                     The decision of the examiner is reversed.
