          Appeal No. 2001-0466                                                        
          Application No. 29/112,628                                                  


               In failing to supply evidence to support the conclusion                
          that it would have been obvious to modify the Burnes picture                
          frame to make the inner and outer frames square so as to                    
          arrive at the claimed design, the examiner has failed to meet               
          the burden of establishing a prima facie case of obviousness                
          of the claimed design.  Accordingly, we cannot sustain the                  
          examiner's rejection.                                                       
                                     CONCLUSION                                       























                                          7
