                Appeal No. 2007-0281                                                                           
                Application No. 10/444,073                                                                     

                the art would have found it obvious to combine CFF® fibers with the product                    
                disclosed by Heagle or Baumgardner.                                                            
                                                SUMMARY                                                        
                      The Examiner has not adequately shown that the cited prior art                           
                references would have suggested the claimed medium to those of ordinary                        
                skill in the art.  We therefore reverse the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                   

                                                REVERSED
