SCHEINER, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This appeal involves claims to a unit dosage form composition comprising at least
one of a number of specified steroidal hormones, and at least one carotenoid, with the
proviso that the composition is substantially free of any other active components. The
examiner has rejected claims 1-10, the only claims remaining in the application, as
obvious over the prior art. We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 134. We find that the
examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness, and reverse the
rejection.
