Appeal No. 98-0978
Application 08/505,650
Turning to a consideration of the rejection of Kanck
in view of Love, we are in agreement with the examiner that
Kanck does not teach using an endless web of low thermal
inertia or making a new transfer element on the next crossing
of the
depositing station. With this admission by the examiner, we
are at a loss to see how the examiner can argue that the
combined teachings of Kanck and Love would have taught the
endless web of low thermal inertia. This is because, as
admitted by the examiner, Kanck does not teach low thermal
inertia and Love does not use heat to harden the deposited
material. Since Love does not use heat, it can in no manner3
provide a teaching of a web with low thermal inertia.
Turning to a consideration of the rejection of
claims 1 and 9 over Kubokawa in view of Kanck and Love, we
note that
3Love uses a method of coating the entire web and
selectively removing the coating by electric spark or laser.
