          Appeal No. 1997-3013                                                        
          Application No. 08/383,328                                                  


          has properly established that one of ordinary skill in the art              
          would have found it obvious, in view of the applied prior art,              
          to arrive at the appellants’ claimed subject matter by using                
          the recited polyisocyanate A2) having the claimed viscosity to              
          prepare component A).  Under these circumstances, we hold that              
          the examiner has not carried his burden of establishing a                   
          prima facie of obviousness within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. §                
          103.  In re Piasecki, 745 F.2d 1468, 1471-72, 223 USPQ 785,                 
          787-88 (Fed. Cir. 1984).                                                    


               The decision of the examiner is reversed.
