          Appeal No. 2000-1958                                                        
          Application No. 08/854,620                                                  


          line data including chemical shifts, of a measured spectral line            
          data.                                                                       


               Since we cannot find a clear suggestion in Meyer, and the              
          examiner has not convinced us of such a suggestion, of a database           
          of reference spectral line data of various elements in different            
          compound forms and a comparison, with that reference spectral               
          line data including chemical shifts, of measured spectral line              
          data, we find no prima facie case of obviousness regarding the              
          instant claimed subject matter.                                             
               Accordingly, the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1, 2,            
          4 and 5 under 35 U.S.C. 103 is reversed.                                    
                                      REVERSED
