Appeal No. 2002-2333 Application No. 09/741,467 matrices of appellant are essentially the same as the processed composition of Kuipers. This, however, the examiner has not done. In addition, there is declaration evidence of record by one of ordinary skill in the art which offers the opinion that "Kuipers' product is not the same or similar to Onwulata's [appellant's] product" (page 2 of Declaration, second paragraph). In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's decision rejecting the appealed claims is reversed. REVERSED EDWARD C. KIMLIN ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) ) CHUNG K.
