a second electrode layer printed on said first
electrode layer, the second electrode layer comprising an
active material having a particle size less than or equal to 0.5
micron; and
a second conductive layer printed on said second
electrode layer.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Parker 6,369,793 Apr. 09, 20021
Schubert et al. (Schubert) US 2003/0165744 Sep. 04, 20032
Claims 1-9 and 16-26 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
as being unpatentable over Parker in view of Schubert.
OPINION
Having carefully considered each of appellant’s arguments
set forth in the brief and reply brief and the evidence of
record, appellant has not persuaded us of reversible error on the
1 Application filed on March 30, 1999.
2 The Schubert published application was filed on Dec. 17, 2002 (a date
subsequent to the filing date of the subject application). However, the Schubert
publication claims priority under § 119(e) to several provisional applications filed on Feb.
12, 2002. Appellants have not disputed the availability of the subject matter contained
in Schubert as prior art to the presently claimed invention, on the record before us.
