Appeal No. 96-0541 Application 08/034,845 The Examiner argues on page 3 of the supplemental answer the Appellant's "claims never require that the first substrate and the first array of linear electrodes to be adjacent with each other, and the second substrate and the second array of linear electrodes are adjacent to each other." The Examiner further states: Even though Figure 2 of Miyake does not show the second linear electrode array 25 is directly on the second substrate 21, Figure 2 of Miyake is broadly interpreted by the Examiner to include a first substrate (22)having a first array of linear electrodes (24) thereon, a second substrate (21) having a second array of linear electrodes (25) thereon (phosphor screen 29, cell barrier 23, layers 28, 27, and electrodes 25 are interpreted to be included in the substrate 21). Appellant responds to these Examiner's arguments on page 2 of the supplemental reply brief that Appellant's claims require a linear electrode array directly thereon the second substrate. We note that Appellant's claim 7 recites "a first substrate having a first array of linear electrodes thereon." We further note that Appellant's claim 7 recites "a second substrate having a second linear electrode array thereon." We note that the Appellant has argued that this claim language 11Page: Previous 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
