Appeal No. 2005-0896
Application 09/947,125
The appellants argue that neither Angulas nor Melton
suggests the specific type of connection of the chip to the
substrate required by claim 9 (brief, page 4).
The examiner finds that Angulas’ high density patterns
(col. 4, lines 67-68) are similar in structure and orientation to
a BGA arrangement (answer, page 7). Because this finding is
reasonable and has not been challenged by the appellants, we
accept it as fact. See In re Kunzmann, 326 F.2d 424, 425 n.3,
140 USPQ 235, 236 n.3 (CCPA 1964). Accordingly, we affirm the
rejection of claim 9.
DECISION
The rejection of claims 6-14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over
Angulas in view of Melton is affirmed.
