Appeal No. 1999-2313 Application No. 08/396,288 determine the direction in which the supercurrent should flow. Even if supercurrent anisotropy of superconductive materials is an inherent property of some materials, the applied prior art does not teach or suggest the relevance of this property or the claimed manner of using this inherent property to increase the maximum density of supercurrent flowing through said superconducting material. Only appellants’ disclosure describes how to orient the Cu-O crystallographic planes and the direction in which supercurrent will flow in the material. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
