Appeal No. 2000-1092 5 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.
