Appeal No. 2002-0105 8
Application No. 09/398,891
In addition, the examiner should consider whether the above disclosures, including
Moody’s disclosure that the concepts of the invention may be extended to other known
casino games such as CARIBBEAN STUDŽ poker, LET IT RIDEŽ poker or Texas Hold
‘Em poker, would have suggested to one of ordinary skill in the art that Moody’s method
may be extended to include contemporaneously playing first and second different poker
formats, such that one or more of appellants’ claims would have been obvious in view of
Moody’s teachings, when taken either alone or in combination with other prior art of which
the examiner may be aware. In considering this issue, the examiner should read U.S. Pat.
No. 4,836,553 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,288,051, which have been expressly incorporated by
reference into the disclosure of Moody, in order to determine precisely how CARIBBEAN
STUDŽ poker and LET IT RIDEŽ poker, respectively, are played.
