          Appeal No. 2000-0002                                                        
          Application 08/848,477                                                      

          herein claimed are, in fact, prepared by the process of his                 
          earlier issued patent, we find that the products would have at              
          least been prima facie obvious from the claims of appellant's               
          prior patent. Accordingly, the rejection of the claims on the               
          grounds of obviousness-type double patenting is affirmed.

               The examiner's rejection of the appealed claims under 35               
          U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103 is reversed. The examiner's rejection of              
          the claims on the grounds of obviousness-type double patenting              
          is affirmed. The decision of the examiner is AFFIRMED.                      
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R.                 
          § 1.136(a).
