          Appeal No. 1997-1197                                                         
          Application 08/130,255                                                       

               Appellants argue that "Fujisawa et al. does not suggest                 
          . . . providing a non-rotated image to one display, and a                    
          rotated image to a second display" (Br19).                                   
               The Examiner concludes that it would have been obvious to               
          use the common display controller of figure 3 of Kajihara to                 
          display rotated image data on different types of displays as                 
          taught by Fujisawa so that an image can be observed at                       
          different angles and perspective (EA5).                                      
               We find no motivation in Kajihara or Fujisawa to display                
          different images on two displays.  Further, we do not see how                
          the Examiner intends to combine the references to meet the                   
          express limitations of claim 22, in particular, the data                     
          conversion means which receives the first scanned image data,                
          converts it into second image data and stores it back in                     
          memory, creating first and second images in memory.                          
          Accordingly, we conclude that the Examiner has failed to                     
          establish a prima facie case of obviousness with respect to                  
          claim 22.  The rejection of claims 22-24 is reversed.                        

               Claims 25 and 26                                                        




                                        - 21 -
