Appeal No. 2005-0873
Application. 10/067,347
specifically states that the mask layer is deposited on top of
the convex portion. Therefore, by his own admission, the
examiner has recognized that the mask layer is independent of the
height of the convex portion since it is placed on top thereof.
We have further considered the Knapp reference but we do not
find therein any disclosure which would ameliorate the
shortcomings of the Althaus reference. Accordingly, we reverse
the rejections of all claims on appeal.
