Appeal 2007-0664
Application 09/794,420
claim language itself or the disclosure. Even as disclosed and claimed there
is no explanation of what lowering one level is to mean in the context of
degrading an image, as also addressed by the Examiner at page 6 of the
Answer. The artisan may well consider, then, that turning off every third
pixel would degrade the image one level to the extent claimed.
In view of the foregoing, the decision of the Examiner rejecting all
claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with
this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR §1.136(a). See 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
