          Appeal No. 1997-2397                                                        
          Application No. 08/061,286                                                  


         part                                                                         
         of complying with the burden of presenting a prima facie case                
         of                                                                           
         obviousness.  Note In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d 1443, 1445, 24                    
         USPQ2d                                                                       
         1443, 1444 (Fed. Cir. 1992).                                                 
              With respect to independent claims 1, 2, 13, 19, and 20,                
         the Examiner, as the basis for the obviousness rejection,                    
         proposes to modify (Answer, page 6) the black and white to                   
         color conversion process of Nickell by relying on Geraci to                  
         supply the missing teachings of converting black and white                   
         color separation information to effect color trapping.
