          Appeal No. 96-0809                                                          
          Application 08/197,677                                                      


          of claims 6-13 as anticipated by Miller.                                    
                        2. The rejection of claims 1, 3, 4,                          
                         5/1, 5/3, 5/4, 6-8, 10, 11, 13 and 15                        
                         under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as                                  
                         anticipated by Ando.                                         
          The examiner has indicated how he reads these claims                        
          on the disclosure of Ando [answer, second page numbered 3].                 
          With respect to independent claim 1, appellants argue that the              
          examiner has improperly ignored the limitation of the “TOC                  
          information” and that Ando does not disclose a jump command                 
          stored with useful information as recited in claim 1 [brief,                
          pages 15-18].  The examiner responds that the TOC editing                   
          information in Ando meets the claimed limitation [answer, page              
          7].  We agree with appellants that the TOC information of Ando              
          does not meet the recitation of claim 1 that each information               
          block has a recording information area as well as an editing                
          information area and at least one of the information blocks                 
          has                                                                         
          a jump command as recited in the claim.  Therefore, we do not               
          sustain the rejection of claims 1, 3-5 and 15 as anticipated                
          by Ando.                                                                    
          With respect to independent claims 6 and 10,                                

                                          9
