             Appeal No. 2005-1290                                                               6              
             Application No. 10/603,464                                                                        


             advantage and its obviousness are entirely different questions.  That which may be                
             inherent is not necessarily known.  Obviousness cannot be predicated on what is                   
             unknown.”).                                                                                       
                   Under the circumstances recounted above, we determine that the examiner has not             
             established a prima facie case of obviousness regarding the claimed subject matter.               
             Accordingly, we reverse the examiner’s decision rejecting the claims on appeal under              
             Section 103.
