Appeal No. 96-1386
Application 08/030,937
would have led those skilled in the art to make the Examiner's
proposed modification. Therefore, we find that the Examiner has
failed to establish that the prior art would have taught or
suggested to those skilled in the art to modify Brown's commu-
nication unit having one mode of operation of transmitting video
information to a communication unit having both a audible mode
of operation and a video mode of operation as recited in the
Appellants' claims by pointing to the express teachings or
suggestions found in the prior art.
We have not sustained the rejection of claims 1 through 11
and 17 through 19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Accordingly, the
Examiner's decision is reversed.
