          Appeal No. 1997-2270                                                        
          Application 08/294,214                                                      


          time of appellants’ invention, or that any other process was                
          known in the art at that time which would have been effective               
          for protecting the hydroxyl groups of the admitted prior art                
          bisphenol derivative.                                                       
               For the above reasons, we find that the examiner has not               
          set forth a factual basis which is sufficient for supporting a              
          conclusion of obviousness of the invention recited in any of                
          appellants’ claims.  Consequently, we reverse the examiner’s                
          rejection.                                                                  





















                                          6
