Appeal No. 2000-0829
Application 09/079,054
Claims 14 and 18
Although independent claims 14 and 18 are argued separately
by the applicants, the arguments made are essentially the same as
those made regarding independent claim 8. Specifically,
applicants argue that:
Claim 14 should be allowable for similar reasons to those
discussed above. Claim 14 specifies storing information
from the lighting device, including a list of adjustments,
and displaying that list of adjustments. This enables the
user to automatically view these adjustments within the
virtual reality environment. Nothing in the cited prior art
is in any way suggestive of such a feature, as described
above. (Brief at 9).
And:
Claim 18 specifies a database which stores information
and characteristics of specific lights and the virtual
reality interface which is based on the characteristics of
the specific lights. The use of such characteristics should
be allowable for reasons discussed above.
Specifically, nothing in Taylor teaches storing the
specific characteristics of the specific lights and using
them in a virtual reality environment as claimed. Taylor
certainly does not display a menu with these specific
characteristics since Taylor does not even teach storing
those specific characteristics. (Brief at 9-10).
Claim 14 recites storing a list of adjustments of lighting
devices, and displaying a list of adjustments of a lighting
device. Claim 18 recites storing characteristics of specific
lights. As discussed above, Taylor describes storing lighting
parameters, e.g. “adjustments” or “characteristics” associated
with a selected light (Taylor, col. 3, lines 54-68 and col. 33,
