Appeal No. 96-4083
Application 08/268,039
response of the laser diode and not a showing of the bypass
capacitor taught on page 782.
On page 9 of the brief, Appellants further argue
that Suzuki fails to disclose the use of a Peltier element to
cool the substrate, as in the present invention. We note that
claim 33 fails to recite this limitation.
Appellants' claim 5 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as being unpatentable over Fenner. On page 10 of the
appeal brief, Appellants argue that Fenner's resistor 20 is
not installed in a package as required by Appellants'
invention.
We note that claim 5 recites "a resistor connected
in series between an electrode of the semiconductor laser
diode and said bias current source for inputting bias current
to said
semiconductor laser diode to generate light, said resistor
being installed in said package." Thus, we find that
Appellants' claim 5 does require that the resistor is to be
installed in a package.
