Appeal No. 2003-0524 Application No. 09/593,816 The Rejection of Claims 5-8 Under 35 U.S.C. ' 103(a) Claim 5 recites the limitation that the bonding pads comprise eutectic solder. The examiner has found that Glenn discloses eutectic solder bonding pads, and the appellant urges that Glenn does not cure the argued deficiencies in the combination of AAPA and Saitoh. We agree with the appellant. As claims 5-8 depend from claim 1, and we have reversed that rejection for the reasons stated above, we consequently reverse this rejection as well. Summary of Decision The rejection of claims 1-4 under 35 U.S.C. ' 103(a) over Saitoh and AAPA is reversed. The rejection of claims 5-8 under 35 U.S.C. '103(a) over Saitoh and AAPA in view of Glenn is reversed. REVERSED EDWARD C. KIMLIN ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT BEVERLY A.
