          would appear to be Formulation I reported in Table 3 in column 9            
          of the patent.  Both Formulation I and Test 475-119-3 appear to             
          involve a composition containing:                                           
                        10%        Priolube 3999                                      
                        62.36%     Emery 2964                                         
                        17.48%     Emery 2199 and                                     
                        10.16%     OLOA 340R                                          
          with a reported viscosity of 8.07 at 100°C and a -25°C Brookfield           
          of 2960.                                                                    
               Thus, Morrison has not told us how the evidence in this case           
          would suggest that post reduction to practice experimentation               
          took place which is reported in the specification of the patent.            
          Cf. Fujikawa v. Wattanasin, where it had been established that              
          certain in vivo experimentation took place after an actual                  
          reduction to practice.                                                      

                                         b.                                           
               Morrison, through counsel, argues that "[t]he Board should             
          take judicial [sic--official6] notice of the requirements for a             
          quality patent application.  This [a quality patent application?]           
          requires preliminary search and review of the prior art prior to            
          filing, writing and necessary revision of the patent                        
          specification and in this case, thorough review by the inventor             
          and the inventor's supervisory and co-workers who were involved             
          in this project."  Paper 48, page 34; Paper 51, page 11.  We                
          decline to take official notice of the facts suggested by                   



          6   See 37 CFR § 1.671(c)(3).                                               
                                       - 15 -
