                  Appeal No.  1998-1719                                                                                      
                  Application No.  08/442,603                                                                                
                         On the record presented, the examiner failed to meet her burden of                                  
                  establishing a prima facie case of obviousness within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. §                           
                  103.                                                                                                       
                         Having determined that the examiner has not established a prima facie case                          
                  of obviousness, we find it unnecessary to discuss the Barsomian Declaration                                
                  executed June 10, 1992, relied on by appellants to rebut any such prima facie case.
