                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on the appeal from the Examiner’s rejection         
          of claims 1-9 and 10-20, which are all of the claims pending in the         
          present application.  Claim 10 has been canceled.                           
               The claimed invention relates to a system and method for               
          automatically generating embroidery designs from scanned color              
          images.  An image data file produced from the scanned images is             
          provided to an embroidery generating program which executes a               
          series of sub-routines to produce an embroidery data output file
