Appeal No. 1997-1427
Application No. 08/483,777
Inasmuch as Webb discloses a pad film over both the
landing and the address electrodes, we will sustain the
obviousness rejection of claims 8 and 14.
The obviousness rejection of claim 9 is sustained because
Webb discloses the use of organic polymers for pad film 26
(column 2, line 58 through column 3, line 4).
The obviousness rejection of claim 10 is sustained
because Webb discloses the use of a fluoropolymer for pad film
26 (column 2, lines 67 and 68).
The obviousness rejection of claims 11 through 13 is
reversed because the applied references neither teach nor
would they have suggested to one of ordinary skill in the art
a pad film of inorganic material.
DECISION
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 8 through
14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed as to claims 8 through 10
and 14, and is reversed as to claims 11 through 13.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
