Appeal No. 96-3211
Application 07/928,717
4. The examiner rejected claims 6, 9, and 15 under
35 U.S.C. § 112 as being indefinite. The rejection of claim 9
appears to rest on its dependence from claim 6. (Paper 24 at 2.)
The examiner withdrew this rejection from claims 6 and 15.
(Paper 29.) We presume this rejection has been withdrawn from
claim 9 as well.
5. The examiner also rejected all of the claims on appeal
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 (Paper 24 at 3) as having been obvious in
light of the following references:
Folsom 4,001,881 4 Jan. 1977
Suzuki JP 59-2210942 12 Dec. 1984
Niitsu 5,132,790 21 July 1992
(filed 27 Mar. 1991)
B. What the references teach
A person having ordinary skill in the art would have
appreciated fact findings 6 to 14 at the time of invention.
6. Folsom teaches cameras supplying a video signal to a
video recorder. (3:31-34.)
7. Recording may be in "time-lapse" (i.e., intermittent)
mode or it may be in real-time (i.e., continuous) mode. (3:19-
30.)
2 We rely on a translation that Applicant provided for
our understanding of this Japanese laid-open application.
