             Appeal No. 2004-0276                                                                              
             Application No. 09/787,438                                                                        
             consist of Eudragit RSŪ.   It is clear, however, from reading Savastano that each of the          
             necessary components must be selected from a large group of possible core                         
             components, delay jacket components and outer coating components.  We do not find                 
             that the examiner has indicated why one of ordinary skill in the art would have                   
             particularly selected the particular components claimed from the disclosure of                    
             Savastano from the large number of possibilities described therein.                               
                   As to the examiner's rejection, we do not find the examiner has provided a                  
             sufficient indication why one of ordinary skill in the art would have substituted organic         
             acid salts described in Savastano for the organic acids in the composition of Noda.               
                   The rejections of the claims for obviousness in view of Noda alone and Noda in              
             view of Savastano are reversed.
