Ishiguro et al. (Ishiguro), “Composite Interframe Coding of
NTSC Color Television Signals,” IEEE National
Telecommunications Conference, Vol. 1, pp. 6.4-1 - 6.4-5 (Nov.
1976).
Grotz et al. (Grotz) EPA 0 346 636 Dec. 20, 1989
Claims 1 through 3 and 5 through 12 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of obviousness, the examiner
relies upon Grotz in view of Ishiguro.
Rather than repeat the positions of the appellants and
the examiner, reference is made to the brief and the answer
for the respective details thereof.
OPINION
For the reasons set forth by the examiner in the answer,
we sustain the rejection of claims 5, 7 and 11, but reverse
the rejection of the remaining claims on appeal, claims 1 to
3, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12.
Turning first to the rejection of claim 12 on appeal we
reverse this rejection for the reasons set forth by appellants
at pages 7 and 8 of the brief, as well as the reasoning set
3
