Appeal 2007-0465
Application 10/146,813
BACKGROUND
The invention relates to a system for producing entangled photons for
use in lithography.
Claim 1 is illustrative:
1. A microscopic image product comprising:
a light source that produces light that is made of entangled photons.
THE REFERENCE
Williams US 6,630,290 B2 Oct. 7, 2003
THE REJECTION
Claims 1-7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being
anticipated by Williams.
DISCUSSION
Claims 1-3 and 5-7
Arguments and rejection
Appellants argue that Williams merely discloses an interferometer that
uses entangled photons to produce only straight line or circular interference
patterns (Br. 9). Appellants argue that "Williams does not disclose a
microscopic image product that comprises a light source that produces
light made of entangled photons" (Br. 9).
