Appeal No. 1998-1658
Application 08/343,876
Okuda does not teach the magnetic recording media when
Shimizu '178 is relied on for this feature.
For the reasons discussed above, we conclude the combination
of Shimizu '178 and Okuda is sufficient to establish a prima
facie case of obviousness, which has not been rebutted. The
rejection of claims 1, 4-6, 8, and 11-13 is sustained.
Issue (6): Claims 7 and 14
Shimizu '178, Okuda, and Yokoyama
The rejection of claims 7 and 14 is reversed for the reasons
stated in the discussion of Issue (4).
CONCLUSION
The rejections of claims 1, 4-6, 8, and 11-13 over
Shimizu '178 in view of Shimizu '645 and Shimizu '178 in view of
Okuda are sustained. The rejection of claims 1, 4-6, 8, and
11-13 over Shimizu '178 and Kobayashi is reversed.
The rejections of claims 7 and 14 are reversed.
