Appeal No. 96-2025
Application 07/860,254
picture element in order to obtain a symmetric voltage
waveform as shown in Appellants' Figure 6 (3).
As pointed out by our reviewing court, we must first
determine the scope of the claim. "[T]he name of the game is
the claim." In re Hiniker Co., 150 F.3d 1362, 1369, 47 USPQ2d
1523, 1529 (Fed. Cir. 1998). We note that Appellants' claim 1
recites "inverting the logical value of the binary code of the
plurality of predetermined bits to produce the binary
complement of the logical value of the binary code of the
plurality of predetermined bits and applying the binary
complement as a second modulated voltage, to said plurality of
pixels, in other of the pair of fields, thereby providing a
symmetrical voltage waveform to said plurality of pixels."
Similarly, Appellants' claim 2
recites inverting the binary code signal so the gradation
display data and its binary complement are utilized with the
positive and negative writing voltage, respectively, to
produce a symmetrical voltage waveform to the picture
elements. We note that claims 2
