Appeal No. 96-1078
Application No. 07/960,887
this teaching, the other teachings found in Kobayashi and the
Hayashi publications, and the well-known double-sided, high-
density, 3.5 inch magnetic computer disks, the obviousness
rejection of claims 6 and 7 is sustained.
The obviousness rejection of claims 9 and 11 is sustained
because appellants have not presented any patentability
arguments for these claims that differ from those for claim 1
(Reply Brief, pages 5 through 7).
The obviousness rejection of claims 4 and 5 is reversed
because the applied prior art does not form the perpendicular
magnetic film on an auxiliary magnetic layer which is in turn
formed on a nonmagnetic substrate, and because the recording
material is now considered to be part of the combination of
claim 1.
The obviousness rejection of claim 8 is reversed because
the applied prior art does not provide any description of a
perpendicular magnetic film of a perpendicular magnetic
recording medium that is formed of an "artificial lattice
film" of Co and Pt.
