Appeal No. 97-3246
Application 08/384,090
teaching of “at least” 60 Torr, meaning that a pressure above
760 Torr would be acceptable, would not meet the limitation of
claim 14 requiring a pressure “below 1 Atm,” or 760 Torr. Of
course, a pressure above 760 Torr, although acceptable to
Matsumoto, would not meet the claim language. However, a
range of 60-760 Torr is still acceptable to Matsumoto and any
pressure within that range does meet the claim limitation of
“below 1 Atm.”
The examiner’s decision is reversed.
