Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 109 words
A process for recording information on a recording layer arranged on a substrate, said recording layer containing an organic metal complex compound having the formula: MmLn where M is a metal atom belonging to one of groups Ib, IVb, Vb, VIb, VIIb, or VIII of the Periodic Table, L is a ligand, m is an integer from 1 to 4, and n is an integer from 2 to 12, and a sensitizing dye capable of absorbing near infrared rays, by irradiating the recording layer with a laser beam to deposit a metal component in the recording layer at the irradiated area by decomposition of the organic metal complex compound.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 109 words
A process for recording information on a recording layer arranged on a substrate, said recording layer containing an organic metal complex compound having the formula: MmLn where M is a metal atom belonging to one of groups Ib, IVb, Vb, VIb, VIIb, or VIII of the Periodic Table, L is a ligand, m is an integer from 1 to 4, and n is an integer from 2 to 12, and a sensitizing dye capable of absorbing near infrared rays, by irradiating the recording layer with a laser beam to deposit a metal component in the recording layer at the irradiated area by decomposition of the organic metal complex compound.
