Appeal No. 96-2074
Application 08/129,425
On June 18, 1998, appellant filed a request for
reconsideration of our decision rendered on May 12, 1998 in
which we affirmed-in-part the rejection set forth by the
examiner. In light of the most recent amendments to 37 CFR §
1.197 effective December 1997, we treat this request for
reconsideration as a request for rehearing.
Appellant requests rehearing only as to our affirmance of
independent claim 31 relative to the rejection under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 in light of Taaffe. The proper context of this
rejection was set forth in the paragraph bridging pages 2 and
3 of our original opinion, where we indicated that the
examiner was in substance relying upon Taaffe in light of
selected portions of appellant’s statement of the prior art
between pages 1 and 3 of the specification as filed.
Appellant does not contest our affirmance of the
examiner’s rejection of claims 20 and 33 in the request for
rehearing.
In the paragraph bridging pages 4 and 5 of our original
opinion we indicated first that the “font cartridge” language
of the preamble of claim 31 had no stated relevance to the
subject matter in the body of the claim on appeal as recited.
