Interference No. 105,058
Schaenzer v. Knight
Joint preliminary motion 3 does not explain in a meaningful manner why U.S. Patent No.
5,345,353 does not disclose, in the context of an optical disc data storage system, a slider having
a mesa with a tapered side wall. In that regard, the declaration of Richard P. Larson simply
states in a conclusory manner that U.S. Patent No. 5,345,353 does not suggest, show or describe
a slider having "a mesa having a tapered side wall," or "a tapered side wall that is formed by at
least one step in the mesa7 (Exhibit 2007, 18). On its face, Figure 4 of U.S. Patent No.
5,345,353, reproduced below, appears to show mesas 110 and 111 protruding from the surface of
the slider 100, and each mesa has a tapered side wall 113:
102 100 103
107
110
113
FIG. 4
1 6 113
If the above-illustrated structure is not considered a slider having a mesa with a tapered side wall,
that has to be explained.
