Appeal No. 96-1421
Application 08/065,773
continuously, if usually idly, continues to read the disk does
not, by itself, teach away from the claimed invention.
13. Secondary considerations and the level of skill in the
art are not contested issues in this appeal.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. All of the independent claims contain some form of
control circuit limitation of claim 12. All of the dependent
claims necessarily contain this limitation.
2. Since the combined references, read as a whole, would
not have taught or suggested the limitation of controlling the
power supply based on an amount of stored information, we must
conclude that the claimed invention would not have been obvious
to a person having ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
invention in view of Sako and Smith.
