1Opinion of the Court
RICH, Judge.
This appeal is from that portion of the July 30, 1976, decision of the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) Board of Appeals (board) rejecting claims 2-5, 51, and 52 in application serial No. 171,736, filed August 13, 1971, entitled “Anorectic Adamantane Derivatives and Method of Using Same.” The board rejected the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 on new grounds, as provided in 37 CFR 1.196(b), as obvious from Brake1 in view of Narayanan,2 Bernstein et al.,3 and Bernstein.4 We affirm the rejection of composition claim 52 and reverse the rejection of method claims 51 and 2-5.
