          Appeal No. 2004-1951                                                        
          Application No. 10/025,684                                                  

          employing antimony trioxide as a pigment or flame retardant in              
          the nacreous pigment-containing laser marking polymeric material            
          referenced by Andes.  JP ‘291 teaches that antimony trioxide is a           
          conventional flame retardant, and appellants’ specification                 
          states that the Nd:YAG laser employed in the present invention is           
          the one “most commonly used for applying markings” (page 1, line            
          33).                                                                        
               In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner’s                  
          decision rejecting the appealed claims is reversed.                         
                                      REVERSED
