                Appeal No. 1998-2531

                that the prior art could be so modified would not have made the modification obvious unless the prior                      

                art suggested the desirability of the modification.").                                                                     

                        The examiner has failed to establish that the claimed candy-coated raisin is the same as or                        

                obvious from candy-coated raisins produced by the Daum process.  The teachings of Minifie and                              

                Brown further fail to cure the deficiencies of Daum.  Therefore, based on the record before us, we are                     

                constrained to reverse the decision of the examiner.
