                    Application 10/011,886                                                                                              

                           Appellants’ invention relates to an optical information medium for                                           
                    erasable recording by a laser-light beam.  An embodiment of the invention is                                        
                    illustrated in Figure 1 below:                                                                                      















                           Figure 1 shows an optical information medium 20 for erasable                                                 
                    recording by means of a laser-light beam 10 having a laser-light wavelength,                                        
                    the medium having a substrate 1 having a reflective layer 3 and a stack 2 of                                        
                    layers provided thereon, the stack comprising a first dielectric layer 5 and a                                      
                    second dielectric layer 7, and a recording layer 6 that is able to change                                           
                    between an amorphous and a crystalline state, arranged between the first                                            
                    dielectric layer 5 and the second dielectric layer 7, wherein the first                                             
                    dielectric layer 5 is formed on a first side of the recording layer near the                                        
                    substrate, and the second dielectric layer is formed on a second side of                                            
                    recording layer.  (Br. 2-3) (citing Specification p. 7, ll. 19-27).
