Appeal No. 97-0171
Application No. 08/187,290
an edited document information data translator for translating the edited
document information data to edited symbol data; and
a printer for printing the edited document information data as edited
document information on an edited document and printing the edited symbol
data as an edited graphic symbol on the edited document at a single
location disassociated from the edited document information printed on the
edited document.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the Examiner in rejecting the
appealed claims are:
Bockholt et al. (Bockholt) 4,488,679 Dec. 18, 1984
Mihm et al. (Mihm) 5,387,783 Feb. 07, 1995
(filing date Apr. 30, 1993)
Duthion FR 2 494 873 May 28, 1982
(French patent)
Claims 1, 3, 8, 9, 18 and 19 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Duthion in view of Bockholt and Mihm.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the Examiner and the
appellants regarding the above-noted rejection, we make reference to the Examiner's
answer (Paper No. 16, mailed August 7, 1996) for the Examiner's complete reasoning in
support of the rejections, and to the appellants’ brief (Paper No. 15, filed November 13,
1995) for the appellants’ arguments thereagainst.
