Appeal No. 95-5032
Application 08/189,276
coupling of transient voltage from said bit line corresponding to said particular memory cell to
others of said bit lines through said sense amplifiers is prevented.
The examiner relies on the following references:
Itoh et al. (Itoh) 4,590,588 May 20, 1986
Taguchi et al. (Taguchi) 4,791,616 Dec. 13, 1988
Koyanagi 4,970,685 Nov. 13, 1990
(filed Jan. 18, 1989)
The admitted prior art of Figures 1-4 of the specification.
Claims 1-22 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of obviousness the examiner
offers Taguchi in view of the admitted prior art with respect to claims 1-11, 13-16 and 18-22, and
Taguchi in view of the admitted prior art and Koyanagi or Itoh with respect to claims 12 and 17.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the examiner, we make reference to the brief
and the answer for the respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal, the rejections advanced by the
examiner and the evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the rejections.
We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants'
arguments set forth in the brief along with the examiner's rationale in support of the rejections and
arguments in rebuttal set forth in the examiner's answer.
