storage of this additional data written onto the card for which
Fuwa seeks capacity. Thus, we are of the view that the Fuwa

We also note that the question of obviousness here does
not turn simply on whether the preferred embodiment of Fuwa does
or does not write onto the integrated circuit card, but rather,
whether writing onto the card would have been suggested to the
artisan. Despite any ambiguities in the Fuwa translation, the
artisan would have appreciated the obviousness of storing the
phone call data on the integrated circuit card so that the card
owner would have a record of the calls that were made for
comparison to subsequent billing invoices. Thus, we find that
Fuwa
teaches to the artisan the writing of call transaction data onto
the integrated circuit card.
