Appeal No. 1997-0811
Application No. 08/240,554
These claims recite features which have been considered above.
The examiner adds the teachings of Trumbull to suggest the
obviousness of separate left and right image units.
Appellants argue that the collective teachings of the applied
prior art do not suggest the simultaneous movement of image
sources in a lateral and longitudinal direction nor the
claimed relationships between the image sources and the image
transfer units which result from the claimed movement [brief,
pages 29-30].
We agree with appellants’ arguments for the same
reasons which we have discussed above. Therefore, we do not
sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 15 and 16.
In summary, we have not sustained any of the
examiner’s rejections of the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
Therefore, the decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1-4
and 6-18 is reversed.
REVERSED
