Appeal No. 95-4730 Application No. 08/061,495 candidate lists which are then merged at 24 to result in a final recognition result. There is nothing in the applied references which, in any way, suggests deriving the static stroke information from the time ordered stroke information and the examiner has never addressed this issue in the answer. Accordingly, the examiner has not established the requisite prima facie case of obviousness required for a proper rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The Guyon reference was applied against dependent claims 4, 10, 15 and 16 for a showing of neural networks for performing character recognition. However, Guyon does not provide for any of the deficiencies noted supra with regard to the other three applied references as applied against the independent claims. Accordingly, we will not sustain the rejection of any of the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed. 9Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
