1Our understanding of this foreign language document is
based upon a translation prepared for the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office. A copy of that translation accompanies this
decision. In the translation, Examples 1 and 2 do not reflect
an accurate translation of the format of the printed material
in the Chinese reference since the translator has put the text
into idiomatic English instead of providing a literal
translation of Examples 1 and 2. A subsequently obtained
literal translation of Example 1 representing the horizontal
typesetting method in Huang is also attached.
2We note, that the rejections of claims 5, 6, 8 and 9
under 35 U.S.C. § 101, and 35 U.S.C. § 112, in the Final
Rejection (Paper No. 11, February 2, 1999), have been
withdrawn by the examiner in her answer (Paper No. 19, August
16, 1999).
