          claims 27, 30-33, 44, 45, 48, 56-58, 65-67, 71-86 and 88-90,                
          and refusal to allow claims 49 and 87 as amended after final                
          rejection.  These are all of the claims remaining in the                    
          application.                                                                
                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               Appellants claim a lubricating oil composition which                   
          includes a lubricating oil, a metal-containing detergent or                 
          anti-rust additive, and an oil soluble dispersant which is the              
          oil soluble reaction product of a recited hydrocarbyl                       
          substituted C  to C  dicarboxylic acid producing material and4    10                                                        
          a specified basic reactant.  Appellants also claim a method                 
          wherein the above reaction product is included in an additive               
          concentrate.  Claim 27 is illustrative and reads as follows:                
               27.  A lubricating oil composition comprising (i) a                    
          lubricating oil, (ii) a metal-containing detergent or anti-                 
          rust additive and (iii) an oil soluble dispersant, the                      
          dispersant comprising the oil soluble reaction product of a                 
          reaction mixture comprising:                                                
               (a)a hydrocarbyl substituted C  to C  dicarboxylic acid4     10                                 
               producing material formed by reacting olefin polymer of C2             
               to C  monoolefin having a number average molecular                     
                   10                                                                 
               weight of about 1500 to 5,000 and a C  to C4     10                          
          monounsaturated     acid material, wherein said substituted                 
          material is         characterized by a functionality ratio of               
          from about 1.05 to       1.25 dicarboxylic acid producing                   
          moieties per molecule of      said olefin polymer used in the               

                                          2
