associated with the designated printer; and
printing the document on the designated printer.
The reference relied on by the Examiner is as follows:
Hower, Jr. et al. (Hower) 5,467,434 Nov. 14,
1995
Claims 9 through 11 and 17 through 19 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as being anticipated by Hower.
Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellant or the
Examiner, we make reference to the briefs and answer for the 1
details thereof.
OPINION
After a careful review of the evidence before us, we do
not agree with the Examiner that claims 9 through 11 and 17
through 19 are anticipated by Hower.
It is axiomatic that anticipation of a claim under § 102
can be found only if the prior art reference discloses every
1 Appellant filed an appeal brief on March 26, 1998.
Appellant filed a reply brief on June 29, 1998. The Examiner
mailed an office communication on September 1, 1998 stating
that the reply brief has been entered and considered but no
further response by the Examiner is deemed necessary.
