Appeal No. 1999-1267 Application No. 08/755,150 In light of the foregoing, it is our determination that the reference evidence adduced by the examiner fails to establish a prima facie case of obviousness with respect to the appellants’ claimed method which employs pH values of the type discussed above. For this reason alone, we cannot sustain the Section 103 rejection before us on this appeal. The decision of the examiner is reversed. REVERSED BRADLEY R.
