Appeal No. 1996-2798 Page 2 Application No. 08/109,597 This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner’s refusal to allow claims 6, 11 and 12 which are all the claims in the application. THE INVENTION The invention is directed to a process for producing an electrolytic electrode having fourlayers. The electrode comprises an electrically conductive surface. The surface is coated by flame spraying particles of at least one oxide selected from the group consisting of titanium oxide, tantalum oxide and niobium oxide on the surface to form a non- stoichiometric oxide layer composition having a thickness of 10 to 200 µm. Thereafter, an intermediate thin layer containing titanium oxide, tantalum oxide and platinum metal is formed on the oxide layer by thermal decomposition. Finally, an electrode layer is formed on the intermediate thin layer. THE CLAIMS Claim 6 is illustrative of appellants’ invention and is reproduced below.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
