            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.
