Appeal No. 1999-1131
Application No. 08/754,758
2-9 depend from claim 1. Accordingly, we reverse the
Examiner's rejection of claims 1-9.
Turning now to consider the scope of independent claim
10, we note that it comprises limitations similar to claim 1:
first pins for receiving control signals, second pins for
inputting and outputting data and wherein the first pins are
provided on one side, the second pins are provided on a second
side and the sides are substantially perpendicular to each
other.
We have already established that neither Michael, Takeda,
nor Murai teaches or suggests, either individually or in
combination, first and second pins arranged on perpendicular
sides. Therefore, based on this prior reasoning, we reverse
the Examiner's rejection of claims 10-13, as obvious over the
combination of Michael, Takeda, and Murai.
Turning now to independent claim 14, it also comprises
similar limitations common to independent claims 1 and 10.
Specifically, claim 14 recites first pins and second pins,
wherein first pins are provided on a first side of a
semiconductor and second pins are provided on a second side
