LOURIE, Circuit Judge.
Albert Rijckaert and Joannes van der Kop (“Rijckaert”) appeal from the decision of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences affirming the final rejection of claims 5-12, all of the pending claims in patent application serial no. 07/345,396, as being un-patentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 (1988). Because the references relied upon to reject the claims do not provide the basis for a prima facie determination that the claimed invention would have been obvious, we reverse.
