Application No. 08/975,983
for each type of paint, or alternatively, the information
concerning color and/or shading can be provided on another
tangible medium such as on the first side 132a of sheet 132 or
on a video tape or audiotape. Clearly, the described
alternative arrangement of providing information concerning
color and/or shading on another tangible medium relative to
the card 120 would result in a tangible medium (i.e., card
120) specifying amounts of paint needed that is separate from
a tangible medium (sheet 132, a video tape or audiotape) that
provides color/shading information.
Accordingly, we shall not sustain the standing rejection
of claims 44-48, 55-63, 69-72 under the first paragraph of 35
U.S.C. § 112.
Rejection (b)
Independent claim 44 is directed to a method including
the step of “specifying amounts needed for each of the
plurality of paints of the mural.” Independent article claim
56 is directed
