Appeal No. 95-3351
Application No. 07/735,356
The examiner relies on Filion’s Claim 7 and Figure 5.
Examiner’s Answer at 6, right hand column, lines 6-12. As we
understand that disclosure, Filion displays printing
completion times for a plurality of jobs sequentially rather
than simultaneously.
Because the examiner has not pointed to any suggestion
for simultaneously displaying completion times for a plurality
of print jobs, we will not sustain the rejection of Claims 6-
8, 21, and 33-35.
Claims 9, 20, 22, and 23
Claims 9, 20, 22, and 23 recite a printer controller
including an input for receiving jobs from an input unit, a2
memory for storing data of one or more pages to be printed,
output means, and analysis means, wherein the input unit
includes means for calculating a duration of printing of each
of the jobs and for transmitting the durations to the
controller via a transmission line.
2 As written, Claim 9 at line 5 mistakenly refers to a
“printing unit.” Taking that literally, the recitation of
“said input unit” at line 15 of the claim would have no
antecedent basis. We assume that, consistent with Appellants’
arguments about input units, “printing unit” is intended to be
“input unit.”
