transducer assembly [of the admitted prior art] at a first
location of the disk proximate the ramp, and writing servo
information indicative of a starting location of the data zone
at the first disk location proximate a load/unload ramp
situated near the outer periphery of the disk” (claim 1;
brief, page 12), “moving the transducer assembly [of the
admitted prior art] from engagement with the ramp to a first
location on the disk proximate the ramp and writing servo
information indicative of a starting location of the data zone
at the first location” (claim 13; brief, page 12), “and a data
storage disk . . . [in the admitted prior art] having a data
zone architecture such that a starting location of the data
zone is located proximate the ramp so as to bias the data zone
toward the outer diameter of the disk” (claim 20; brief, page
12).
Based upon the foregoing, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection
of claims 1, 2, 5 through 7, 11 through 13, 15 and 19 through
23 is reversed because we agree with appellants’ argument
