          Appeal No. 1998-1077                                      Page 11           
          Application No. 08/458,999                                                  


          consider an affirmance of the provisional rejection of claims               
          13 and 15-17 under the judicially created doctrine of                       
          obviousness-type double patenting as being unpatentable over                
          claims 13-19 of now abandoned application No. 08/445,402.                   
          Accordingly, we procedurally reverse the examiner’s                         
          provisional obviousness-type double patenting rejection.                    




                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               The decision of the examiner to reject claims 13 and 15-               
          17  under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph as lacking support               
          in the original specification; to reject claims 13 and 15-17                
          under                                                                       
          35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Furukawa; and to                 
          provisionally reject claims 13 and 15-17 under the judicially               
          created doctrine of obviousness-type double patenting as being              
          unpatentable over claims 13-19 of application No. 08/445,402                
          is reversed.                                                                


                                      REVERSED
