          Appeal No. 2001-0225                                                        
          Application 09/085,021                                                      


         printer.  Similarly, if first and second lines of weakness and               
         removable first and second side margins having feed                          
         perforations of the sort disclosed by Ogawa were added to                    
         Baker’s envelope forms as suggested by the examiner, the forms               
         would not meet the limitation in claim 18 requiring each of the              
         removable side                                                               
         margin portions to have a pattern of pressure activated                      
         cohesive.  Hence, even if Baker were modified in view of Ogawa               
         in the manner proposed, the method recited in claim 18 would                 
         not result.                                                                  
              Accordingly, we shall not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C.                
         § 103(a) rejection of claim 18, or of claims 23 through 26                   
         which depend therefrom, as being unpatentable over Baker in                  
         view of Ogawa.                                                               




              The decision of the examiner is reversed.                               


                                     REVERSED                                         




                                          7
