          Appeal No. 2005-0515                                                        
          Application No. 10/124,925                                                  

               In light of the foregoing, it is our ultimate finding that             
          appealed claim 1 does not distinguish over Bartley by excluding             
          rhenium from the here claimed catalyst as argued by the                     
          appellants.  We shall sustain, therefore, the examiner’s                    
          rejection of all appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as                
          being unpatentable over Bartley.  See In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d               
          1443, 1445, 24 USPQ 1443, 1444 (Fed. Cir. 1992).
