                                             DECISION ON APPEAL                                                        
                        This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 involving claims to a

                 has rejected the claims as obvious.  We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C.                             
                 § 6(b).  We reverse.

                        “One of the most adverse effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory                             
                 drugs (NSAIDs) is their ulcerogenic activity on the gastrointestinal tract”
