          Appeal No. 1997-1240                                                        
          Application 07/881,753                                                      



          signal having a same format as the high definition signal and               
          the same field frequency as that of a standard television                   
          signal as recited in Appellants' claim 1.                                   
                    The Examiner responded to Appellants' above argument              
          on page 9 of the answer stating that the claimed high                       
          definition processing means for applying to the double rate                 
          signal a scanning line conversion processing to convert the                 
          same into a signal having the same format as that of a high                 
          definition signal                                                           
          to be an inherent characteristic of Katsumata's figure 11,                  
          component 1103, because Katsumata's reference discloses that                
          the signal outputted from figure 11, component 1103, to be a                
          double rate signal as well as a high definition signal as                   
          clearly specified in Katsumata's column 15, lines 7 through                 
          12.  In column 15, lines 7 through 12, Katsumata states:                    
                    The double scanning speed conversion                              
                    circuit 1103 forms interpolation scanning                         
                    lines from the output signals of the IDTV                         
                    processor 1101 and the EDTV processor 1102,                       
                    and performs movement adaptation scanning                         
                    line inter- polation processing so as to                          
                    attain high definition.                                           



                                          8
