Appeal No. 2001-0922
Application No. 09/408,886
disclosed by Powell. Based upon the noted teachings of Powell,
we find that Powell clearly discloses “encoding said auxiliary
[data] in tiled fashion, both vertically and horizontally” as
required by claim 7 if the embedded signatures in Powell are in a
regular and widely spaced pattern across the image. With respect
to claim 12, each of the embedded signature points in the image
in Powell “corresponds to one of said image elements” (column 2,
lines 34 through 50).
Appellant’s request has been granted to the extent that our
decision has been reconsidered, but such request is denied with
respect to making any modifications to the decision.
