Appellants’ claimed invention is directed to a solar
controlled coated article comprising a substrate containing
first, second and third antireflective layers, first and second
infrared reflective layers, and first and second primer layers of
titanium over the first and second infrared reflective layers,
respectively. The coated article in an insulated test unit
provides for the test unit to have the recited luminous
transmission, solar heat gain coefficient and ratio of luminous
transmittance to solar heat gain coefficient. Also, the claimed
antireflective, infrared reflective and primer layers have
thicknesses within the recited ranges. The coated article finds
utility in windows for buildings or insulating glass units.
The appealed claims stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
