               Appeal No. 2002-1324                                                                                                
               Application No. 09/024,111                                                                                          


                       Accordingly, since, in our view, the examiner has not set forth a prima facie case                          
               of anticipation, we will not sustain the rejection of claims 1-69 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b).                         
                       The examiner’s decision is reversed.                                                                        
                                                          REVERSED
