Appeal No. 1996-2369 Page 6
Application No. 08/191,723
skilled of the scope of the invention, 35 U.S.C. § 112 demands
no more. Miles Labs., Inc. v. Shandon Inc., 997 F.2d 870,
875, 27 USPQ2d 1123, 1126 (Fed. Cir. 1993). Here, when read
in light of the specification, one skilled in the art would
understand the following features of the appellants’
invention. The claimed “address data of the first number of
bits” could specify a display position that is outside the
LCD’s effective address area 59. Without correction, this
specification may result in an undesired display within the
effective address area. Fig. 1, (0,0). The invention
corrects the bits of the address data to be within the
extension address area 11 of the LCD 11, which is outside the
effective address area.
In summary, one skilled in the art would understand the
bounds of the claim 1 when read in light of the specification.
We demand no more. Therefore, we reverse the rejection of
claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 112. Next, we address the
nonobviousness of claims 1, 3, and 5-8.
