          Application 08/184,446                                                      








                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
                    This is a decision on appeal from the final rejec-                
          tion of claims 1 through 13, all of the claims present in the               
          application.                                                                
                    The invention relates to an error correcting memory               
          system.  In particular, on page 3 of the specification, Appel-              
          lant discloses that the principal object of the present inven-              
          tion is to provide an error correcting memory device for an                 
          effective use of the space thereof.  Appellant discloses that               
          this object is accomplished by providing an error correcting                
          memory device that includes a device for writing and reading                
          m-bit data and an n-bit pointer for marking errors in accor-                
          dance with a predetermined rule.  The device includes a first               
          memory for recording m-bit data and a second memory for re-                 
          cording n-bit pointers.  The device further includes a writ-                
          ing/reading control signal generating unit for generating the               
          respective writing and reading control signals of the first                 

                                          2
