                Application No. 08/933,959                                                                                              


                micro-photograph of the finished iron powder product.   Accordingly, on the record before                               
                us, we are constrained to reverse the decision of the examiner.                                                         
                Because we reverse on this basis, we need not reach the issue of the sufficiency of the                                 
                showing of unexpected results in the specification.  In re Geiger, 815 F. 2d 686, 688,                                  
                2 USPQ2d 1276, 1278 (Fed. Cir. 1987).                                                                                   



                                                              DECISION                                                                  

                The rejection of claims 1 through 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable                                      
                over Freeman or Konig  is reversed.                                                                                     
                The decision of the examiner is reversed.
