          Appeal No. 1997-1413                                                        
          Application 07/765,757                                                      


          information from Ishii’s keyboard in Figure 23 only goes to                 
          the display and not to the film is untenable.  All the                      
          embodiments of Ishii are directed to the manually entered                   
          input data and/or the data representative of the object to be               
          photographed being stored in memory such as memory 105 before               
          it is transferred to the film for printing.  It also makes no               
          sense that the entered caption such as shown in Figure 23                   
          would not appear on the exposed film since the whole purpose                
          of Ishii’s device is to expose additional information onto the              
          photographic film with the object to be photographed.                       
          Appellant’s argument that Ishii relates to pattern                          
          recognition rather than a user drawn sketch is not persuasive.              
          Ishii suggests that any information can be entered for                      
          exposure on the film, and the suggestion of a writing pad, as               
          discussed above, would also have suggested the capability of                
          entering sketches as taught by Johnston.  Therefore, we                     
          sustain this rejection of independent claim 1.  Dependent                   
          claims 6, 17 and 40                                                         


          fall with claim 1 because appellant has not presented                       
          arguments sufficient to have these claims considered                        
                                          13
