          Appeal No. 1997-2829                                                        
          Application No. 08/456,090                                                  


          the range recited in appealed claim 13.  For the reasons set                
          forth in section VI-B3-b, supra, the dosage limitation of                   
          baclofen recited in appealed claim 13 would have been well                  
          within the level of skill in this art and obvious over                      
          Kreutner.  For the reasons set forth in section VI-B3-c,                    
          supra, the Rule 132 Declaration is insufficient to show that                
          the dosage limitation recited in claim 13 constitutes an                    
          unexpected result.                                                          
               The rejection of claim 13 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is                     
          affirmed.                                                                   


          VII.  Conclusion                                                            
               In conclusion, for the reasons set forth in the body of                
          this opinion, we affirm the examiner’s decision rejecting
