Appeal No. 96-2742
Application No. 08/311,371
In summary, the admitted prior art does not disclose or
suggest any electrical signals from the carrier to the
recording and reproducing unit, and more specifically does not
suggest direct signals without use of the director. Kuo does
not disclose or suggest adding communication between the
carrier and the recording and reproducing unit, and
particularly does not suggest a direct communication between
the two. Therefore, the
examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of
obviousness, as the combination does not include all of the
limitations recited in the claims. Accordingly, we cannot
sustain the rejection.
