            Appeal No. 2000-1646                                                                              
            Application 08/467,425                                                                            
            with the Examiner’s conclusion, and find that the selection of glass as the reinforcing           
            fiber of Nakamura would have been prima facie obvious.                                            
                   Accordingly, we affirm the rejection of claims 10 and 11 under 35 U.S.C. §103(a)           
            over Nakamura in view of Murray.                                                                  
                                            Summary of Decision                                               
                   The rejection of claims 1-8, 10-13, 15, and 19-20 under the judicially created             
            doctrine of obviousness-type double patenting as being unpatentable over claims 1-20              
            of U.S. Patent No. 5, 717,191 is sustained

            over Nakamura in view of Murray is sustained.                                                     
                                          Time Period for Response
