Appeal No. 2005-0418
Application No. 10/124,248
It may very well be that with Klein’s disclosure of the
ability to reverse his preferred process to make it a voice-and-
fax to text conversion, together with the disclosure of
predefined headers and pointers, the skilled artisan would have
found it obvious to operate on a non-text message by searching
the message for signal samples having pre-defined characteristics
and comparing these signal samples with the pre-defined
characteristics and then, upon finding such signal samples with
those pre-defined characteristics, storing pointers pointing to
the found signal samples in the message. However, the examiner
has advanced no reasoning as to obviousness within 35 U.S.C.
§ 103, and we will not speculate.
But, as to anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e), the
examiner has failed to specifically point out how each and every
claimed step/element is found in Klein. Therefore, we cannot
sustain this rejection.
