Appeal No. 1996-3600
Application 08/284,371
incorporated individual channel, date, time-of-day and program
length commands; and
a decoder for decoding and expanding each of one or more
of said compressed coded indications into said set of
individual channel, date, time-of-day and program length
commands for control of the video recorder.
The examiner relies on the following references:
Welles, II (Welles) 4,623,887 Nov. 18, 1986
Beyers, Jr. (Beyers) 4,641,205 Feb. 03, 1987
Young 4,977,455 Dec. 11, 1990
(filed July 15,
1988)
Claims 106-127, 133-162 and 168-175 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of obviousness the
examiner offers Beyers in view of Welles with respect to all
the claims and additionally adds Young with respect to claims
140, 141, 174 and 175.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the
examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for
the respective details thereof.
