Appeal No. 1996-2798 Page 3
Application No. 08/109,597
6. A process for producing an electrolytic electrode,
comprising the steps of:
flame-spraying particles of at least one oxide selected
from the group consisting of titanium oxide, tantalum oxide,
and niobium oxide over a surface of an electrically conductive
substrate to form an oxide layer on said electrically
conductive substrate, said oxide layer comprising a mixed oxide
having a non-stoichiometric composition and having a thickness
of from 10 to 200Fm, to thereby provide an oxide coated
electrode substrate;
forming an intermediate thin layer containing titanium
oxide, tantalum oxide, and platinum on the oxide coated
electrode substrate by thermal decomposition; and
forming an electrode active material layer on the
intermediate thin layer.
THE REFERENCES OF RECORD
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies upon the
following references.
Hund et al. (Hund) 4,140,813 Feb. 20,
1979
Asano et al. (Asano) 4,481,097 Nov. 6,
1984
THE REJECTION
Claims 6, 11 and 12 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Asano in combination with Hund.
