`Wada and Barrett’s Goals Not Opposed
`Barrett and Wada are in similar fields:
`Barrett
`Wada
`“[T]he present invention [] provide[s]
`“multiple CPUs and memory units communicating
`semiconductor memory working in burst mode for
`with other units via system I/O bus...” Barrett at 4:46-
`a high-speed read operation...” Wada at 6:3-7.
`48
`Barrett and Wada share goal of high-speed uninterrupted burst data transfer:
`Barrett
`Wada
`“a burst data transmission comprised of a plurality
`“allows the data corresponding to address Am to be
`of uninterruptible streams of n data transfer
`output uninterrupted in burst mode.” Wada at 16:8-
`cycles.” Barrett at claim 1.
`10
`“a semiconductor memory operating in burst mode
`at a sufficiently high speed irrespective of the
`operating speed of its memory cell array.” Wada at
`5:67-6:2.
`
`“allowing a pause at any point defeats the purpose
`of burst transmission, which is to send data as
`rapidly as possible in an uninterrupted stream.”
`Barrett at 2:39-41.

`art of making cutting waste less expensive, but ignored
`the teachings of other asserted prior art references. . . .
`‘any alleged, long-felt need was met by the teachings of at
