              Appeal No. 1995-1303                                                                                       
              Application 08/004,603                                                                                     

              Rajadhyaksha, suffice it to say the examiner has not explained with adequate specificity                   
              why it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to modify the saturated                 
              chain of the compounds of that reference with the specific unsaturated chain required                      
              by the claims on appeal.  Again, oleic acid is used as a stand-alone compound in the                       
              composition of Francoeur.                                                                                  
                     The decision of the examiner is reversed.
