          Appeal No. 1997-1485                                                        
          Application 08/279,046                                                      


          examiner has not established why good release properties would              
          have been desired for the photographic supports disclosed by                
          Tsubaki.                                                                    
               For the foregoing reasons, we determine that the examiner              
          has failed to establish a prima facie case of obviousness in                
          view of the reference evidence of record and appellants’                    
          “admissions.”  Accordingly, the rejection of claims 10-35                   
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Tsubaki in view of Patterson and                 
          appellants’ “admissions” is reversed.                                       
               The decision of the examiner is reversed.                              
          REVERSED
