          Appeal No. 2000-1251                                                            
          Application No. 08/843,786                                                      
          recited in claim 12 or the steps of the method for protecting an                
          IC against the consequences of having erroneously entered a test                
          mode during normal operation of generating a test mode start-up                 
          signal during normal operation of the IC and resetting the IC                   
          based on the receipt of the test mode start-up signal as recited                
          in claim 20.  As such, we also cannot sustain the rejections of                 
          claims 13 and 21-22 made under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                 

                                     REVERSED
