          Appeal No. 2001-1306                                                        
          Application No. 08/939,762                                                  

                                   OTHER ISSUES                                       
               We note, as discussed above, that the examiner has not                 
          supplied any evidence of brazing beryllium-aluminum alloys.                 
          However, we also note Pritchard et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,470,014,          
          issued Nov. 28, 1995, of record, which teaches that “[t]he industry         
          presently uses the same processes for the brazing of aluminum-              
          beryllium alloy parts as it uses for aluminum parts.”  See col. 1,          
          ll. 25-27.  Upon the return of this application to the jurisdiction         
          of the examiner, the examiner and appellants should reconsider the          
          patentability of the claimed subject matter in view of Pritchard            
          and the previously applied prior art.
