          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
