Appeal No. 97-1387
Application No. 08/251,011
transistors formed on insulating substrates and the artisan
clearly would have been led to employ the supporting substrate
of Malhi in Hayashi since, as the examiner contends, it would
appear that the supporting substrate of Malhi is “a widely use
[sic, used] supporting material for [a] thin film transistor”
[answer-top of page 5].
Since appellants do not argue the merits of dependent
claims 2 through 4 separate from independent claim 1, claims 2
through 4 will fall with claim 1.
Accordingly, the examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1
through 4 under 35 U.S.C. ' 103 is affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
' 1.136 (a).
