Appeal No. 96-1346
Application 08/122,611
We disagree with appellant that the combined art fails to result in an optical disk having wobble
and discrimination pits in the same servo control information area. If data area 69 of Figure 1a of
Sugiyama is repositioned so as to group wobble pits 7 and 8 together in accord with the teaching in
Verboom’s Figure 2A, the result is that Sugiyama’s wobble pits 7 and 8 and track discriminating pits
70 and 71 will be in the same servo control information area. In its briefs, appellant has failed to
provide a detailed analysis of the disclosures of the prior art references relating to this issue.
Accordingly, it is not known why appellant believes the combined teachings do not suggest the above
subject matter.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be
extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
