          732 F.2d 1572, 1577, 221 USPQ 929, 932 (Fed. Cir. 1984).  The               
          axiom applies to the subject matter Dolle claims just as it                 
          applied to the subject matter claimed in Ewen, U.S. Patent                  
          5,036,034.                                                                  
               Finally, because (1) Claims 4, 16, 19, and 31 (Appendix                
          D) of Dolle Application 08/147,006 are directed to processes                
          for preparing “a syndio-isoblock polymer having molecular                   
          chains in which syndiotactic and isotactic sequences are                    
          present and the sequence length is 3 to 50 monomer units by                 
          polymerization of propylene or an olefin of the formula                     
          RCH=CHR’ in which R and R’ are identical or different and are               
          an alkyl radical having 1 to 14 carbon atoms or R and R’                    
          combine with the carbon atoms joining them together to form a               
          ring”; (2) Claim 36 of Dolle Application 08/147,006 is                      
          directed to the process of Claim 31 for preparing  a syndio-                
          isoblock polymer having molecular chains in which syndiotactic              
          and isotactic sequences are present and the sequence length is              
          3 to 50 monomer units by polymerization of an olefin (Claim                 
          31) “wherein said olefin is ethylene or propylene”; and (3)                 
          Claim 37 of Dolle Application 08/147,006 is directed to the                 
          process of Claim 31 ”wherein said olefin is a 1-olefin”, Ewen               
          argues, purportedly supported by Dr. Gauthier’s declarations                

                                         91
