Appeal No. 98-1900
Application D-07/715,260
alone, to convert a picture into a design for an
article of manufacture. Mere display of a picture
on a screen is not significantly different, in our
view, from the display of a picture on a piece of
paper. Only the medium of display is different.
Note, also, the special concurrence by Examiner-In-Chief
Stahl, at 12 USPQ2d 1264-1266.
We have sustained both the rejection under 35 U.S.C. §
112, first paragraph, and the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 171.
Accordingly, the examiner’s decision is affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
