                                               DECISION ON APPEAL                                                         

                     This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner's final                     
              rejection of claims 1 - 20, which are all of the claims pending in the case.                                
                     Claim 1 is illustrative of the subject matter on appeal and reads as follows:                        
                               1                                                                                          
                            1.     A method of producing a fucosylated carbohydrate in a single                           
              reaction mixture comprising the steps of:                                                                   


                     1An amendment was filed on October 29, 1993 which sought to cancel the phrase                        
              "with fucose" from part "(b)" of claim 1.  The record does not reflect that this amendment                  
              has been considered by the examiner or properly entered in this record.  Therefore, the                     
              claim remains as filed and as reproduced above.
