Appeal No. 1997-0201
Application No. 08/140,318
The Examiner relies on the following prior art:
Komarek et al. (Komarek), “Array Architectures for Block
Matching Algorithms,” IEEE Transactions on Circuits and
Systems, vol. 36, no. 10 (October 1989).
De Vos et al. (De Vos), “Parameterizable VLSI Architectures
for the Full-Search Block-Matching Algorithm,” IEEE
Transactions on Circuits and Systems, vol. 36, no. 10 (October
1989).
Claims 4-14 stand finally rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Komarek in view of De Vos.
Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellant and the
Examiner, reference is made to the Brief and Answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on
appeal, the rejection advanced by the Examiner and the
evidence of obviousness relied upon by the Examiner as support
for the rejection. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into
consideration, in reaching our decision, Appellant’s arguments
set forth in the Brief along with the Examiner’s rationale in
support of the rejection and arguments in rebuttal set forth
in the Examiner’s Answer.
