Appeal No. 1999-2077 Page 2
Application No. 08/589,251
integrated magnetic circuitry and processes for manufacturing
such magnetic modules” (specification, page 1). Claims 1 and
10 are illustrative of the invention and read as follows:
1. A magnetic module comprising a magnetic core
deposited into a cavity patterned into a non-
magnetic substrate.
10. A method for manufacturing a magnetic module
comprising the steps of patterning a cavity into a
non-magnetic substrate and depositing a magnetic
material into said cavity patterned in said non-
magnetic substrate.
The sole prior art reference relied upon by the examiner
in rejecting the appealed claims is:
Lemelson 5,064,989 Nov. 12, 1991
Claims 1 and 10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)
as being anticipated by Lemelson.
Claims 2 and 11 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
as being unpatentable over Lemelson.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the final rejection and
answer (Paper Nos. 9 and 14) for the examiner's complete
reasoning in support of the rejections and to the brief (Paper
No. 13) for the appellant’s arguments thereagainst.
