Appeal No. 1999-2839
Application 08/824,716
Gallagher teaches a contact area that is greater than
Appellants’ claimed 1x10 m .-9 2
In summary, Gallagher does not teach Appellants’ claimed
limitations which recite:
first and second insulating layers formed between the
first and second magnetic metal layers wherein the
second insulating layer surrounds the first
insulating layer and a surface area of the first
insulating layer in contact with the second magnetic
metal layer is less than 1x10 m .-9 2
Therefore, Gallagher cannot anticipate Appellants’ claims.
Accordingly, we reverse the Examiner’s rejection of claims 1, 2
and 4-7 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as being anticipated by Gallagher.
REVERSED.
