Jones states in column 7, line 3 through 5 that “[t]he 256,
512 and 1K images are all directly available for display,” and
as shown in figure 14, the 1K Image is image LL. Further, in
column 6, lines 28 through 30, Jones teaches that “the lowest
frequency subband image at any resolution level is the one
used for the purpose of display.” Thus, we find that Jones’
image LL is, by the Appellants’ definition, a non-dependent
representation. However, we find that the “Encoded 512
subbands” (to which the Examiner appears to be referring to as
the “512 Image,” see footnote 4, supra) are dependent images.
We find that Jones teaches in column 6, line 68, through
column 7 line 6, that the subbands are used for reconstructing
the 2K Image. We do not find that Jones teaches that any of
the subband images, other than the lowest frequency subband
image, are displayable. Jones depicts in each of the
embodiments that the subband images are combined to create
displayable images. See figures 12, 14, and 18. Accordingly,
we find that Jones’ subband images, other than the lower order
subband image, are “dependent” as they each require additional
information for display. Thus, we find that Jones does not
