Appeal No. 96-2376
Application No. 08/195,341
the examiner has withdrawn the prior art rejection of claims 1
through 4 and 7.2
The invention pertains to the duplicating of an original
document. After duplication of an original document at a
remote location, verification is transmitted back to the
originating station and the original document is destroyed.
Claim 5, the only independent claim left before us on appeal,
however, requires no transmission to a remote location nor
does it require a destruction of the original document.
Independent claim 5 is reproduced as follows:
5. Apparatus for duplicating an original document
comprising in cooperative relationship: a computer; a scanner
cooperative with said computer; a printer cooperative with
said computer; a document transport mechanism cooperative with
said scanner so as to transport a scanned document to a
viewing location; a computer monitor cooperative with said
viewing location so as to display information which has been
scanned which is in the computer memory with the transported
document; and a security area to which the scanned document
may be transported.
The examiner relies on the following references:

1991
2A rejection of claim 4 under 35 U.S.C. 112, second
paragraph, remains.
