Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
A printed circuit board comprising: upper wiring on an upper surface of the printed circuit board; lower wiring; a landless blind hole extending from the upper surface to said lower wiring, the landless blind hole having an opening larger than the bottom thereof; and a conductor pattern formed only on the bottom and the internal wall of said blind hole for connecting said upper wiring with said lower wiring.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
69 words
A printed circuit board comprising: upper wiring on an upper surface of the printed circuit board; lower wiring; a landless blind hole extending from the upper surface to said lower wiring, the landless blind hole having an opening larger than the bottom thereof; and a conductor pattern formed only on the bottom and the internal wall of said blind hole for connecting said upper wiring with said lower wiring.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
94 words
A printed circuit board comprising: upper wiring on an upper surface of the printed circuit board; lower wiring; a blind hole extending from the upper surface to said lower wiring, the blind hole having an opening larger than the bottom thereof; a conductor pattern formed on the bottom and the internal wall of said blind hole and terminating below the upper surface of the printed circuit board, the conductor pattern connected to the lower wiring; and an upper wiring lead extending into said blind hole and connecting said upper wiring with said conductor pattern.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
94 words
A printed circuit board comprising: upper wiring on an upper surface of the printed circuit board; lower wiring; a blind hole extending from the upper surface to said lower wiring, the blind hole having an opening larger than the bottom thereof; a conductor pattern formed on the bottom and the internal wall of said blind hole and terminating below the upper surface of the printed circuit board, the conductor pattern connected to the lower wiring; and an upper wiring lead extending into said blind hole and connecting said upper wiring with said conductor pattern.
Claim 5
