Appeal No. 96-0410
Application 08/161,015
arrive at the claimed invention of first testing with electrical
test probing instruments flat solder pads and than reflowing the
tested or probed flat solder pads to form solder bumps.
Since independent claim 10 is more detailed than the similar
requirements of independent claim 1 on appeal, the rejection of
this claim must also be reversed. As such, the rejection of
dependent claims 2 and 3 and 11 and 12 must be reversed, as well
as the remaining dependent claims, further relying upon Temple.
Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 to 8
and 10 to 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
REVERSED
