Both references are available under 35 U.S.C. § 102(a). Hunt
is, by virtue of the other authors, the work of “another” on
the present record, and appears to anticipate claims 1 through
9. Agostinelli, which is of record (see form PTO-1449, filed
Apr. 21, 1992 in Paper No. 3), discloses a cubic,
nonsuperconducting phase of YBCO. Page 11,396, left column.
Agostinelli further
discloses Josephson type sandwich structures of orthorhombic
(superconducting) and cubic (nonsuperconducting) YBCO.
Page 11,399, left column, last paragraph. At least
independent claim 1 appears to be anticipated by Agostinelli.
