                      Appeal No. 2006-2833                                                                                                                
                      Application No. 10/334,807                                                                                                          


                      obvious.  However, in the context of the reversal of the rejection of parent claim                                                  
                      10, we find the teachings insufficient.  In view of the use by McKee of solder balls                                                
                      40 to establish conductive bridges from the package to the motherboard instead                                                      
                      of the capacitor 50, the McKee reference does not render the claim elements                                                         
                      obvious over the prior art.                                                                                                         
                               We do not sustain the rejection of claims 13 and 14.                                                                       
                                                                    Conclusion                                                                            
                               In view of the foregoing discussion, we reverse the Examiner’s rejection of                                                
                      claims 10, 11 and 12 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and claims 13 and 14 under                                                               
                      35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
