               Appeal No. 1999-0808                                                                          Page 5                 
               Application No. 08/645,397                                                                                           


                       The Examiner made the rejection under § 102(b).  We make no judgement with respect to                        

               obviousness.  We simply find that the Examiner has failed to demonstrate that Figlarz describes, either              

               expressly or inherently, each and every step of the claimed process.                                                 





                       We conclude that the Examiner has not established a prima facie case of anticipation with                    

               respect to the subject matter of claims 1-26.                                                                        

                                                         CONCLUSION                                                                 

                       To summarize, the decision of the Examiner to reject claims 1-26 under 35 U.S.C.                             

               § 102(b) is reversed.
