                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This appeal is from the refusal to allow claims 8, 16, 24-             
          29, 31-34 and 40-44 as amended after final rejection.  These are            
          all of the claims remaining in the application.                             
                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               The appellant’s claimed invention is directed toward a                 
          grease formulation which includes a base stock and a thickener.             
          Claim 27 is illustrative:
