Appeal No. 97-3665 Application 08/280,039 communications network. Accordingly, Stringer does disclose the transmission of a partially degraded version over a communications network. Accordingly, the rejection of claims 6, 12, 13, 15, 16, 22, 40 and 41 cannot be sustained. We will, however, sustain the rejection of claims 11, 20 and 39. Conclusion The rejection of claims 1-5, 7-11, 14, 17-21, and 23-39 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by Stringer is affirmed. The rejection of claims 6, 12, 13, 15, 16, 22, 40 and 41 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by Stringer is reversed. No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
