Appeal No. 2005-2358
Application No. 10/071,664
The appellants do not dispute that this formula also encompasses
the claimed formula, except for employing cobalt (Co3+), in lieu
of nickel which is known to be in the same transitional metal
Group VIII in the Mendeleev periodic chart. Compare the Answer
in its entirety with the Brief and the Reply Brief in their
entirety. We find that Manev goes on to state (column 4, lines
39-62, emphasis added) that:
Although the codopant combination of cobalt and
titanium is described as a preferred embodiment for use
in the invention, various other combinations can be
used in accordance with the invention. For example,
combinations of aluminum, cobalt, chromium, copper,
iron, gallium, magnesium, nickel, germanium,
molybdenum, niobium, titanium, vanadium and tungsten
such as aluminum/titanium, gallium/titanium,
nickel/titanium, iron/titanium, chromium/titanium,
cobalt/vanadium, aluminum/vanadium, magnesium/vanadium,
gallium/vanadium, nickel/vanadium, iron/vanadium,
chromium/vanadium, cobalt/molybdenum,
aluminum/molybdenum, gallium/molybdenum,
nickel/molybdenum, iron/molybdenum,
chromium/molybdenum, cobalt/germanium,
aluminum/germanium, magnesium/germanium,
gallium/germanium, nickel/germanium, iron/germanium,
chromium/germanium, cobalt/nickel/vanadium,
magnesium/germanium/vanadium, aluminum/cobalt/titanium,
aluminum/titanium/molybdenum,
aluminum/cobalt/molybdenum, nickel/titanium/molybdenum,
cobalt/nickel/titanium/vanadium,
cobalt/nickel/titanium/molybdenum, and
cobalt/nickel/aluminum/titanium/vanadium, can be used
to produce multiple doped lithium manganese oxide
