          person of ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention               
          was made to modify the instant prior art process to                         
          automatically analyze the image rather than automatically                   
          analyze the markings associated the image(s).

          35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                            


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the Examiner rejecting
