            Application No. 10/140,692                                                                        

                                                  Summary                                                     
                   The examiner has not adequately shown that a person of ordinary skill in the art           
            would have been motivated to combine the modified rosin-terpene taught by Takigawa                
            to be useful in double-faced tape with the hot melt adhesive taught by the other                  
            references.  We therefore reverse the rejections on appeal.
