          Appeal No. 1996-3817                                                        
          Application No. 08/180,521                                                  


          appellant at page 15 of the brief, "nothing in either                       
          reference suggests providing a  heat shrinkable film having a               
          foamed inner layer . . . it is   not clear from a reading of                
          either reference, either together   or separately, that it                  
          would even be possible to form such an oriented film, much                  
          less employ one as a protective patch."                                     




               In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's                  
          decision rejecting the appealed claims is reversed.                         
                                      REVERSED
