Appeal No. 96-1854
Application No. 08/067,992
the deposition transcript, the timecode number corresponding to
the desired question is transferred from the software version of
the deposition transcript to the software controlling the video
cassette recorder/player. The desired portion of the videotaped
deposition is thereafter located and displayed.
The examiner acknowledges (Answer, page 3) that “Ardis et al
fail to show that the transcript data and the video data are
combined,” but states that “[i]t is well known in the art to
combine textual data and video data for displaying on a single
monitor as a simpler alternative to using separate displays, and
Nomura et al show that textual data and video data are combined
for display (figs. 15A-15C, column 3).” The examiner then
concludes (Answer, pages 3 and 4) that “[i]t would have been
obvious at the time the invention was made to a person of
ordinary skill in the art to provide the system of Ardis et al
with means for combining video data and textual transcript data
so that video and textual data can be displayed on the same
monitor, as shown by Nomura et al, thus simplifying the display
and reducing the space needed for the display.”
