2. The application on appeal was filed on 4 March 1993.
(Paper 1 at 1.) Appellant claims the benefit of Japanese kokai
Hei4-070863. (Paper 1, Comb. Decl.; Paper 2.) Fuji Photo
Optical K.K. is the real party in interest.
3. The application is entitled "Zoom lens optical system".
The subject matter of the invention "relates to a zoom lens
optical system provided with an optical path splitting means for
splitting a light beam, which has passed through a negative film,
into light beams following optical paths heading towards a
printing section and a photometric section." (Paper 1 at 1.) In
particular, the specification details a
zoom lens optical system [that] satisfies the
conditions
1.2 fw < f1 < 2.4 fw ... (1)
0.4 fw < f3/f2 < 0.8 fw ... (2)
where fw is a number equal to the minimum focal length
of the whole system in millimeters, f1 represents the
composite focal length of the first-lens set, f2
represents the composite focal length of the second-
lens set, and f3 represents the composite focal length
of the third-lens set.
(Paper 1 at 3-4 (amendments included).) For the appeal,
Appellant has amended claim 1 to state formula (2) in words as
