          Appeal No. 1998-3062                                                        
          Application 08/425,319                                                      


          directed to now recognizing that character.  Furthermore, we                
          note that Kubota does mention the term induction field.                     
          However, Kubota states that the method used to generate a                   
          pattern is constructed with imaginary charged particles.                    
          These particles have initial field which is a function of                   
          distance, and they then move to forces of attraction and                    
          repulsion between them.  Thus, Kubota is not directed to the                
          field of induction as defined by Appellant's claims.                        
               In view of the foregoing, we have not sustained the                    
          rejection of claims 7-12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                             





               Therefore, the Examiner's decision is reversed.
