               Appeal No. 2001-0172                                                                                                   
               Application 08/932,771                                                                                                 

               compositions under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being obvious over the combined teachings of Stehling                         
               and Stevens ‘815 and Stehling, Stevens ‘815 and Ewen.  We point out that the difference                                
               between the claims involved in Appeal No. 2000-1547 and those of the present appeal is that the                        
               former set of claims specified at most the melt index and comonomer content of the individual                          
               interpolymers and the “combined” and “recovered mixture” while here, appealed claims 1 and 21                          
               specify additional physical properties which have not been established on the present record to be                     
               possessed by the interpolymers produced by the processes of Stevens’ 815.                                              























                       The examiner’s decision is reversed.                                                                           
                                                              Reversed
