Appeal No. 1997-0013
Application No. 08/141,664
11 through 13 and 19 is reversed because Shimizu and Watanabe
neither teach nor would they have suggested the conversion of
a most significant bit of an address data signal (claims 1, 3,
4, 6, 8, 9 and 11) or the inverted and non-inverted most
significant bit of the address signal (claims 12, 13 and 19).
The obviousness rejection of claims 2, 5, 7, 10 and
14 through 18 is reversed because the display teachings of
Kaneko do not cure the noted shortcoming in the teachings of
Shimizu and Watanabe.
DECISION
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through
19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
