          Appeal No. 96-2440                                                          
          Application 08/099,289                                                      

               The examiner relied on Benton to show the use of optical               
          fiber for transmission of video data signals (answer on page 5).            
          But Benton, as applied by the examiner, does not make up for any            
          of the deficiencies of Hunt as discussed above.                             
               For the foregoing reasons, we do not sustain the rejection             
          of claims 1-4, 6-8, 10, 12-14, 16-18, 20, 22-25, 27-29, 31-34,              
          36-38 and 40-41 as being unpatentable over Hunt and Benton.                 







                                     Conclusion                                       
               The rejection of claims 1-4, 6-8, 10, 12-14, 16-18, 20, 22-            
          25, 27-29, 31-34, 36-38 and 40-41 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being            
          unpatentable over Hunt and Benton is reversed.                              


                                      REVERSED

                                                       )                              
                                                       )                              

                                          9
