Appeal No. 96-1765
Application No. 08/078,630
including at least a continuous array in memory. The examiner
has pointed to nothing which persuades us that the references
do, in fact, suggest these claim limitations.
As far as the examiner’s reliance on the Inoue reference
(U.S. Patent No. 5,274,812) is concerned, if this reference is
being relied on for justification of the rejection of the
claims, there is no reason for not including the reference in
the statement of the rejection. See In re Hoch, 428 F.2d
1341, 1342 n.3, 166 USPQ 406, 407 n.3 (CCPA 1970).
Accordingly, we have not considered this reference in
rendering our decision.
