          Appeal No. 2002-2207                                                        
          Application 09/057,729                                                      


          examiner’s erroneous findings result in a failure by the examiner           
          to establish a prima facie case of obviousness.                             
          In summary, we have not sustained the examiner’s                            
          rejection of the claims on appeal.  Therefore, the decision of              
          the examiner rejecting claims 1-14 is reversed.
