                 Appeal No. 1999-1774                                                                                 
                 Application No. 08/487,183                                                                           

                 Since the references do not provide the requisite motivation to make the claimed                     
                 product, they do not support a prima facie case of obviousness.                                      
                                                      Summary                                                         
                        We reverse the rejection for obviousness because the cited reference do                       
                 not provide the requisite motivation to modify the known compound as required                        
                 to meet the limitations of the claims.
