Application No. 08/152,080
in the application.
The subject matter on appeal relates to a method of
creating a decorative design by applying multicolored
dyestuffs on and incorporating them in a substrate which
comprises the steps of placing a carrier with multicolored
dyestuffs on a substrate and transferring the dyestuffs from
the carrier to the substrate by heating the carrier with
infrared radiation, wherein the intensity of the infrared
radiation applied to the carrier is controlled in
correspondence with the prevalent color portions of the
multicolored dyestuffs to which the infrared radiation is
applied, the intensity of the infrared radiation applied to
the carrier being different for each color of said
multicolored dyestuffs carried thereby, said infrared
radiation thereby being directed inhomogeneously to the
carrier depending on the color distribution of the decorative
design. We refer to representative independent claim 12 of
record for further details of this appealed subject matter.
The references relied upon by the examiner as evidence of
