Appeal No. 97-2885
Application 08/384,847
CFR § 1.196(b).
The invention relates to "a multicolor printing method
wherein a printed image on a printed material is attained with
at least two passes" (specification, page 1). A copy of
appealed claims 1 and 2 appears in the appendix to the
appellant's brief (Paper No. 15).
The references relied upon by the examiner as evidence of
obviousness are:
Minschart 4,994,975 Feb. 19,
1991
Steiner et al. (Steiner) 5,181,257 Jan. 19,
1993
Sainio et al. (Sainio) 5,412,577 May 2, 1995
(filed Oct. 28, 1992)
Claims 1 and 2 stand rejected:
a) under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as being based
on a specification which fails to provide an enabling
disclosure; and
b) under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over
Sainio or Steiner in view of Minschart.
Reference is made to the appellant's brief (Paper No. 15)
