Appeal No. 2001-2089 Application 08/993,368 applied Maiti to address the peripheral region structure recited in these claims, we find nothing in the Maiti reference which would overcome the innate deficiencies of Momodomi and Komori discussed supra. In conclusion, we have not sustained the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of any of the claims on appeal. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 12-21 is reversed.
