               Appeal No. 2001-2491                                                                       Page 9                
               Application No. 09/168,564                                                                                       


               nickel and cobalt, as well as palladium and platinum, are useful for hydroisomerizing                            
               n–paraffins.                                                                                                     
                      Appellants also argue that the reference combination does not disclose the additional                     
               limitations of claims 4 and 5 (Brief at 11).  Appellants are directed to Perego at column 4, lines               
               16-42 for the required disclosure.                                                                               
                      We conclude that the record as a whole supports the legal conclusion that the invention                   
               would have been obvious.
