          Appeal No. 1997-3141                                                        
          Application No. 08/327,347                                                  


               In conclusion, it is our opinion that the Examiner’s line              
          of reasoning does not establish a prima facie case of                       
          motivation and, therefore, the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103                   
          rejection of claims 1-5, 10, 11, and 13-18 is not sustained.                
          Accordingly, the decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1-               
          5, 10, 11, and                                                              
          13-18 is reversed.                                                          
                                      REVERSED
