In re Dubbs

This is an appeal from the decision of the Board of Appeals of the United States Patent Office affirming the decision of the Primary Examiner rejecting claims 21 to 21, inclusive, in appellant’s application for a patent for an alleged invention relating to the conversion, of hydrocarbon oils under heat and pressure in the presence of ■hydrogenating gas.
