                Before RICHARD E. SCHAFER, ADRIENE LEPIANE HANLON, and                                       
                RICHARD TORCZON, Administrative Patent Judges.                                               
                TORCZON, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                        

                                         DECISION ON APPEAL                                                  
                      The claims on appeal relate broadly to rigid foams for insulation.  The                
                examiner has rejected claims 1-8, all of the pending claims, under 35 U.S.C.                 
                § 103.  The appellant (Bayer) seeks review of the rejection.  We affirm.                     

                                             BACKGROUND                                                      
                                                 The claims                                                  
                      Bayer has opted not to delineate separate groups of claims for separate                
                treatment in its arguments as provided by rule.  Hence, we treat the claims as
