70. The panel based it decision on an analysis of the Ushifusa patent that
showed the patent suggested its chip carrier was limited to less than 16 × 10-6
ppm/°C and the Examiner provided no evidence to counter this suggestion. Thus,
the panel concluded “there is no suggestion to make [Ushifusa’s] chip carrier and
circuit board out of material having a CTE of at least 17 × 10-6 ppm/°C.”
71. On June 27, 1995, the Examiner entered a Notice of Allowability
indicating claims 1, 2, 4-8, and 10-14 were allowable.
