          Appeal No. 1998-2386                                                        
          Application No. 08/757,749                                                  


          (CCPA 1974).  Appellant argues (Brief, pages 3 and 4) that                  
          Engel and Kawashima, taken alone or in combination, neither                 
          teach nor suggest a sheet of material having a first portion                
          of less than an overall image visibly printed thereon and a                 
          second portion physically associated as a continuity with the               
          first portion of the overall image forming part thereof to                  
          assist in completion of the overall image invisibly printed on              
          the sheet of material as a latent image and                                 




          a compatible visible image third portion to be selected and                 
          movably associated with the developed second image portion.                 
               The examiner, on the other hand, maintains that Engel                  
          teaches a game book containing at least one sheet [18, Figure               
          2] having a character or first image “portion” [20] and a                   
          plurality of half tone images or second image “portions” [24,               
          Figure 7] printed in areas [22] which “may be broadly                       
          interpreted as a continuity with the first portion” and a                   
          sticker or third image “portion” [12, Figures 3 and 4] which                
          the examiner contends is “broadly physically associated” with               
          the first image “portion” [20] (Answer, page 5).                            
                                          5
