Appeal 2006-3357
Application 10/310,311
Appellants’ claimed invention is directed to a system for securing a
semiconductor device in nonparallel relation to a carrier substrate.
Independent claim 1 is representative of the claimed invention and reads as
follows:
1. A system for securing at least one
semiconductor device in nonparallel relation to a
carrier substrate, comprising:
at least one interconnection receptacle
associated with the carrier substrate for receiving
at least an edge portion of the at least one
semiconductor device; and
a mounting element, including:
at least one assembly member configured to
couple to the at least one semiconductor device;
and
at least one retaining member configured to
engage or be engaged by a complementary engager
upon insertion of at least the edge portion of the at
least one semiconductor device into the at least one
interconnection receptacle.
The Examiner relies upon the following as evidence of
unpatentability:
Bellomo US 5,449,297 Sep. 12, 1995
Richards US 6,056,579 May 02, 2000
Appellants seek review of the Examiner’s rejection of claims 1-20
under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by or, in the alternative, under 35
U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable over Bellomo alone or taken in view of
Richards.
The Examiner provides reasoning in support of the rejection in the
Answer (mailed June 28, 2005). Appellants present opposing arguments in
