Appeal No. 2002-0405 Application No. 07/325,269 19. A solid superconducting mixed-metal oxide obtainable by the method of Claims 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, 17 or 18.3 22. A solid superconducting mixed metal oxide of the formulae A2GCu3O7-x or [Y1-yBay]2 CuO4-d wherein: A is a Group II metal; G is a Group III metal or a lanthanide; x is from about 2 to 3; y is 0 or 1; and d is 0-4. The prior art relied upon by the examiner is: Hor et al. (Hor), “High-Pressure Study of the New Y-Ba-Cu-O Superconducting Compound System,” Phys. Rev. Letters, 58(9), pp. 911-912 (2 March 1987). In addition, this Merits Panel relies on the following references: Wu et al. (Wu), “Superconductivity at 93 K in a New Mixed-Phase Y-Ba-Cu-O Compound System at Ambient Pressure,” Phys. Rev. Letters, 58(9), pp. 908-910 (2 March 1987).4 3Claims 5-9 and 15-18 depend from claim 1, see, supra, note 2. For clarity, we indicate the respective claims from which claim 19 depends following the “/”. 4This document describes the compounds examined in Hor.
