          Appeal No. 1998-3182                                                        
          Application No. 08/459,526                                                  
          of the two metallocenes in separate solvents and teaching that              
          the “catalyst components may only be arbitrarily contacted and              
          mixed” (column 20, lines 41 and 42).  For the same reason, we               


          also find that the examiner’s new ground of rejection of claims             
          18, 20, 23 and 24 is well-founded.                                          
               In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's                  
          decision rejecting the appealed claims is affirmed.                         
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
