          Application No. 08/539,069                                                  


          “a cut-off portion of the inner lead which exposes a part of                
          the                                                                         
          underlying insulating layer between the first bonding part and              
          a remaining part of the recited first portion” (Brief, page                 
          7).                                                                         
               Inasmuch as the applied references neither teach nor                   
          would have suggested the recited inner lead structure and                   
          relative widths, we will reverse the obviousness rejection of               
          claims

                                      DECISION                                        
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 7 through                
          12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
