          Appeal No. 1997-2054                                                        
          Application No. 08/332,555                                                  


               On pages 6 and 7 of the brief, Appellants argue that San               
          does not disclose or suggest any method or apparatus for                    
          interactively editing a video program as set forth in                       
          Appellants' claims.  On pages 8 and 9, Appellants argue that                
          San fails to teach a method of using a second processor that                
          controls the video program editing operation in response to                 
          user input through the input device as required by the method               
          claims 1 through 23.  Appellants further argue on pages 9                   
          through 11 that San does not teach stopping the execution of                
          the program at a desired display frame to be edited as                      
          required by the independent method claims 1 and 10.  On pages               
          14 through 16 of the brief, Appellants argue that San fails to              
          disclose a second processor that controls video program                     
          editing operations as required by the apparatus claims, claims              
          24 through 27, 29 and 30.                                                   
               Upon our review of San, we fail to find that San teaches               
          in any way a method or apparatus for editing a video program                
          as claimed by Appellants.  San teaches the use of a second                  
          processor to be used as a graphical coprocessor.  We find that              
          San fails to  contemplate in any way the problem of                         
          interactively editing a videographic program being executed in              
                                          6
