                  Appeal No. 1997-4277                                                                                      
                  Application No. 08/290,038                                                                                

                         Therefore, the examiner has failed to provide the evidence necessary to                            
                  support a prima facie case of obviousness within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103.                          
                  Accordingly, we reverse the rejection of claim 18 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                          
                  unpatentable over McCune in view of Namikawa.
