Appeal No. 1997-0321
Application 08/052,494
current is employed and how the voltage output at the bond pad
serves as an indication of the integrity of the bond. The
Examiner has not made clear what exactly is lacking in the
written description other than to simply assert that the
various means claimed were confusing.
In meeting the written requirement, Appellants do not
have to utilize any particular form of disclosure to describe
the subject matter claimed, but the description must clearly
allow persons of ordinary skill in the art to recognize that
the inventor had indeed invented what is being claimed. We
are convinced from a review of the specification and
Appellants arguments that, in this case, Appellants had in
their possession
what they are claiming. Therefore, we do not sustain the
rejection of claims 10 to 15 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph, for lack of written description.
