DETAILED ACTION Notice to Applicant The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA. In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis ( i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status. Claims 1-5 are pending. Priority Receipt is acknowledged of certified copies of papers required by 37 CFR 1.55. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112 The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(b): (b ) CONCLUSION.— The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor regards as the invention. The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA), second paragraph: The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the appl icant regards as his invention. Claim s 1-5 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA), second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor (or for applications subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, the applicant), regards as the invention. On line 12 of claim 1, the Applicant states “the soft magnetic alloy film contains one or more selected from Fe and No ”. In the last line of claim 1, the Applicant states “a total amount of Fe, Co, and Ni in the soft magnetic allo y film is 70 at% or more”. However, it is unclear to the Examiner as to how “the second magnetic allow film ” contains in the instance ONE selected from Fe and No when the last limitation recites that BOTH “Fe AND Co” are present within the claimed apparatus (i.e. The last limitation states that the nanogranular magnetic film are made of both Fe and Co, however the previous limitation states that it is possible for one of Fe and Co to exist within the nanogranular magnetic film.). Because of the inconsistency within the claimed limitations, the claim is deemed vague and indefinite. Claims 2-5 have also been rejected under 35 USC 112 by virtue of their dependency to claim 1. Allowable Subject Matter Claim s 1-5 would be allowable if rewritten or amended to overcome the rejection(s) under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA), 2nd paragraph, set forth in this Office action. As per claim 1, the closest prior art Yoshidome et al. US Patent 11,682,507 discloses in Fig. 1 an inductor 2 comprising all of the limitations recited therein EXCEPT a volume of the first phase and the second phase is 65% or less, a total amount of Fe, Co, and Ni in the soft magnetic alloy film is 70 at% or more. The reference is silent on the volume amounts of the elements therein.
