Appeal No. 96-3561
Application No. 08/045,241
to combine the divided graphic data in order to create a
composed graphic image, as claimed.
Accordingly, we will not sustain the rejection of claim
2, or of claims 3 through 5 which depend therefrom, under 35
U.S.C. 103, based on the evidence provided by the applied
references.
With regard to independent claim 8, this claim recites,
inter alia, the first and second memories, wherein the second
memory has the first region for storing predetermined
character information as character code data and a second
region for storing predetermined graphic information as
external character codes. In addition, the claim requires a
control means for “composing said character information with
said graphic data of said first memory means to display a
composite image...” The examiner cites Shirai for the
teaching of a composite image formed from data from a first
and second memory and contends that it would have been obvious
to modify Hayden with Shirai “so that data coming from
different memory means (11, 12) could be combined together in
a temporary store means (16) and output to a display means
(17)” [answer-page 3].
