                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1, 3 to           
          7 and 9 to 17, all the claims remaining in the application.                 
               The appealed claims are drawn to a method for evaluating a             
          person’s handwashing technique (claims 1 and 3 to 6), a method              
          for indicating areas of body part contact on surface areas of a             
          defined space (claims 7 and 9 to 12), and a composition for                 
          washing one’s hands (claims 13 to 17).  They are reproduced in              
          the appendix of appellant’s brief.
