Appeal No. 2002-0972
Application 08/816,466
the art when making Nowlin’s catalyst system wherein the catalyst
is a metallocene rather than Uvarov’s group IV-V transition
metal.
For the above reasons we conclude that the examiner has not
carried the burden of establishing a prima facie case of
obviousness of the appellant’s claimed invention.
DECISION
The rejection of claims 1-4, 6-9, 12-14 and 56 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over the combined teachings
of Nowlin and Uvarov is reversed.
