                    Application 11/095,901                                                                                              
                    steps used by Diehr, i.e., the use of a preformed lignocellulosic                                                   
                    material (Diehr’s end product) in the production of the claimed                                                     
                    article.  The Examiner has not adequately explained why the product                                                 
                    of Diehr reasonably appears to be the same as the claimed invention.

                            The Examiner's decision rejecting claims 1-4, 15-22, and 33-                                                
                    48 is reversed.
