Appeal No. 1996-0684 Application No. 08/116,550 recommend that both appellants and the examiner clarify whether the statement in the specification, page 10, lines 1 through 3 is, in fact, a misstatement. Based on the results set forth in appellants' specification, it appears that the combination of partially fluorinated chromium oxide and platinum decreases catalyst life and throughput compared with the use of partially fluorinated chromium oxide alone. The decision of the examiner is reversed. REVERSED SHERMAN D. WINTERS ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) ) DOUGLAS W.
