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). 6Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
