         Appeal No. 2004-2040                                                       
         Application No. 09/772,985                                                 

         stabilizing the folded stack with an adhesive.  (Column 7, lines           
         14-17; Figure 10.)                                                         
              It is clear, therefore, that the examiner has not                     
         adequately established that Paurus describes each and every                
         limitation of the invention recited in appealed claim 27.                  
         Accordingly, we are constrained to reverse the examiner’s                  
         rejection on this ground.1                                                 
              For these reasons, we reverse the examiner’s rejection                
         under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) of appealed claims 27 through 30 as               
         anticipated by Paurus.                                                     

















                                                                                   
              1  Upon receipt of this application, the appellant and the            
         examiner should analyze whether any of the appealed claims                 
         should be rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable over           
         Paurus.                                                                    

                                         6
