Judges.
BARRETT, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from
the final rejection of claims 5-7, 11, and 12.
We reverse.
BACKGROUND
With reference to Appellants' figure 21, the invention is
directed to a composite magnetic head having a thin conductor
film 593 or 594 formed on at least one of the faces of the
opposing magnetic heads 557, 558 to intercept leakage fluxes
from the opposing magnetic head gap g1, g2 to minimize
interference and assure good recording and reproduction.
Claim 5 is reproduced below.
5. A composite magnetic head comprising:
a pair of magnetic heads having magnetic gaps having
different azimuth angles from each other and disposed
closely in an opposing relationship to each other in a
head feeding direction to define respective track widths
and a track pitch, said heads further having respective
faces which are spaced from each other in opposing
relation; and
a thin conductor film formed on at least one of said
faces of said magnetic heads for intercepting leakage
fluxes from the magnetic gap of the other magnetic head,
