Appeal No. 95-2855

reproducing apparatus. We also agree with appellant that the
obviousness of moving the location of RAM 58 has nothing to do
with the claimed invention.
Appellant also argues that Ichinose does not read video
signals from only one storage area of the memory means as recited
in claims 1 and 5. Ichinose stores the plurality of video
signals in “n” storage locations indicated as 25a to 25n. While
one of these storage locations is receiving a new frame of data,
all the other storage locations are read and the data is
transferred to monitor 41 [Ichinose, column 3]. The examiner has
looked at adjacent memory locations in Ichinose as making up a
plurality of memory areas [answer, pages 9-10]. Regardless of
how the examiner attempts to define a storage area, the claimed
requirement that readout be from only one storage area cannot be
met by Ichinose because Ichinose reads data from the memories 25
in a loop 25a, 25b, 25c,..., 25n, 25a, 25b,... in which the
beginning location of the loop keeps shifting with each new read
[column 3]. Thus, we agree with appellant that the reading
control means of claims 1 and 5 is not suggested by the Ichinose
device.
Since independent claims 1 and 5 recite features which
are not taught or suggested by Ichinose, we do not sustain the
