Appeal No. 1997-0900 Application 08/371,039 earlier for reversing the rejection of claim 12 on appeal, the bypassing feature of claim 9 is not taught or suggested among the collective teachings of the references relied upon. The feature of dependent claim 10 of conditioning a nonlinear element to provide a linear transfer function in response to a compression mode of a video signal prediction means is not taught or suggested by either reference relied upon by the examiner. In view of the foregoing, inasmuch as we have sustained only the rejection of claims 5, 7, and 11 within the rejection of claims 1-3 and 5-12 of the claims on appeal, the decision of the examiner rejecting these claims is affirmed-in-part. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
