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

                         Having determined that the examiner has not established a prima facie case                         
                  of obviousness, we find it unnecessary to discuss the McCune Declaration executed                         
                  September 28, 1995, relied on by appellants to rebut any such prima facie case.
