Appeal No. 96-0809
Application 08/197,677
Gore and Associates, Inc. v. Garlock, Inc., 721 F.2d 1540,
1554, 220 USPQ 303, 313 (Fed. Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 469
U.S. 851 (1984). The examiner has indicated how he reads
these claims on the disclosure of Miller [answer, first and
second pages numbered 3]. With respect to independent
claim 1, appellants argue that the examiner has improperly
ignored the limitation that the information recording medium
is singular and that Miller does not disclose a jump command
as recited in claim 1 [brief, pages 12-15]. The examiner
responds that the presence of a second information recording
medium in Miller is irrelevant because two information media
discloses one information medium. The examiner also asserts
that the editing/accessing information of Miller meets the
jump command as recited and defined in claim 1 [answer, pages
5-6].
We agree with appellants on the question of whether
Miller discloses the jump command as recited in claim 1.
Although Miller does suggest that editing information about
the useful information can be stored along with the useful
information on plural storage media, Miller does not suggest
