          Application 09/140,846                                                      



               1.  An encapsulated electrophoretic display, comprising a              
          capsule comprising particles dispersed in a suspending fluid,               
          wherein said particles contain a liquid.                                    
               30.  A process for creating an encapsulated electrophoretic            
          display, comprising the steps of:                                           
               (a)  encapsulating a dye in a liquid into a plurality of               
          first capsules; and                                                         
               (b)  encapsulating said plurality of first capsules into a             
          second capsule in a binder.                                                 

               The following references are relied on by the examiner:                
          Chang                    4,314,013           Feb.  2, 1982                  
          Saxe et al. (Saxe)       5,650,872           July 22, 1997                  
          Jacobson                 6,124,851           Sep. 26, 2000                  
                                   (filing date July 20, 1995)                        
               Claims 1-37 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As                  
          evidence of obviousness, in a first stated rejection, the                   
          examiner relies upon Saxe in view of Chang as to all of these               
          claims on appeal.  In a second stated rejection of claims 1-4               
          and 30, the examiner relies upon Jacobson alone.                            
               Rather than repeat the positions of the appellants and the             
          examiner, reference is made to the briefs and answer for the                
          respective details thereof.
