Appeal No. 1998-0817
Application 08/610,976
20 recites "a phase locked loop, in response to the control
signals generated by the microprocessor, for receiving the
format data read by the read channel during the write
operation and for generating a clock having a frequency and
phase that is equal to the frequency and phase of the format
data read from the format portion of the record compensated
for the deviation in the actual rotational speed of the disk
from its nominal speed." We fail to find that Rooke teaches
these limitations as well.
Therefore, we do not agree with the Examiner that claims
14-20 and 22-24 are anticipated by Rooke. Furthermore, we
note that the rejection of claim 21 is based upon finding
these limitations in Rooke. Therefore, we do not agree that
claim 21 which is
dependent upon claim 20 is properly rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as being unpatentable in view of Rooke and Gold for the
reasons given above with respect to claim 20.
In view of the foregoing the decision of the Examiner
rejected claims 14 through 24 is reversed.
