Appeal No. 96-3486
Application No. 08/291,565
28. An atomized powder as produced by the process of
claim 27.
The references relied upon by the examiner are:
Brunelle et al. (Brunelle) 4,378,307 Mar. 29, 1983
Koberstein et al. (Koberstein) 5,024,985 June 18, 1991
Claims 1-6 and 8-29 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
103
as unpatentable over Brunelle and Koberstein. We reverse
and make new grounds of rejection under 37 CFR §
1.196(b).
The Claimed Invention
The final rejection, the brief and examiner’s answer
all summarize the invention as being directed to a
process for preparing a catalyst. But as seen from
claims 1, 25, 26, 27 and 28 on appeal, the present
invention is also directed to the atomized powder and
catalyst produced by that process, and the use of the
catalyst in catalytic conversion and/or elimination of
pollutants present in exhaust gases of internal
combustion engines.
