Appeal No. 1997-4321
Application No. 08/050,693
11. A doped particle of semiconductor material having a
diameter of less than 100 D with a doping % of less than 1%.
The examiner relies upon the following reference as
evidence of obviousness:
Ying Wang et al. (Wang), "Three-Dimensionally Confined Diluted
Magnetic Semiconductor Clusters: Zn Mn S," 77 Solid State
1-x x
Communications no. 1, 33-38 (1991)
As recited in independent claim 11, appellants' claimed
invention is directed to a particle of semiconductor material
having a doping percent of less than 1%. An example of the
doped semiconductor material encompassed by claim 11 is ZnS
doped with Mn.
Appellants submit four separate groupings for the
appealed claims at page 5 of the Brief. However, the ARGUMENT
section of the Brief fails to present any argument that is
reasonably specific to any particular claim on appeal.
Accordingly, all the appealed claims stand or fall together
with claim 11. In re Nielson, 816 F.2d 1567, 1572, 2 USPQ2d
1525, 1528 (Fed. Cir. 1987). See also 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(5)
and (c)(6) (1994).
