Appeal No. 2004-1834
Application No. 10/158,885
As to the rejection of claims 5, and 12-14, the examiner relies on APA for the
limitations regarding assigning a bin number and placing picked dies in the die bin, and
finds that it would have been obvious to modify Balamurugan by including bin numbers
in the wafer map and to place dies into assigned bin numbers as a method of wafer
mapping to keep track of dies (answer-page 7).
While appellant argues these claims, at pages 14-15 of the principal brief, the
arguments are, for the most part, repetitious of previous arguments addressed supra.
Moreover, appellant does not seem to even address APA upon which the examiner
relies to make the combination. Accordingly, we will sustain the rejection of claims 5
and 12-14 under 35 U.S.C. §103.
We have sustained the rejection of claims 1-14 under 35 U.S.C. §103.
Accordingly, the examiner’s decision is affirmed.
