          Appeal No. 1997-2046                                      Page 18           
          Application No. 08/059,350                                                  


          layer, each ferromagnetic layer having a saturation                         
          magnetization that is greater than 1OkG and a thickness of                  
          less than 100 microns ...."  The examiner fails to establish a              
          prima facie case of obviousness.  Therefore, we reverse the                 
          rejection of claim 57-62 and 76 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                      


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               In summary, the rejection of claims 40, 46-48, 54-56, 73,              
          75, and 80 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over Hasegawa in                
          view of Takahashi is reversed.  The rejection of claims 41-45,              
          49-53, 57-63, 65-72, 74, 76-79, and 81-85 under 35 U.S.C. §                 
          103 as                                                                      




          obvious over Hasegawa in view of Takahashi further in view of               
          Yoshizawa or Soohoo is also reversed.                                       


                                      REVERSED
