                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                 
          rejection of claims 3, 4, and 9 through 15, which are all of the            
          claims pending in this application.                                         
               Appellants' invention relates to a disk cartridge formed               
          from two types of thermoplastic resins with different heat                  
          deforming temperatures, an antistatic polymer, and an inorganic             
          filler.  As a result, the cartridge is antistatic and has                   
          excellent heat-resistance and rigidity.  Claim 13 is illustrative           
          of the claimed invention, and it reads as follows:
