Appeal No. 1997-2846 Application 08/388,599 defined by Appellants. Even if path 52 achieves the same electrical result, actually or inherently, path 52 is not the same as Lmax, and the Examiner has not shown that minimizing path 52 will result in Appellants’ defined maximum distance of Lmax. The Examiner has not shown that Temple’s structure, using similar parameters to determine path 52, inherently results in a structure defined by Appellants’ claim 7 using Lmax. In the absence of such a showing by the Examiner, it is not Appellants’ burden to show how Temple does not inherently result in their claimed structure. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
