Appeal No. 1997-3662
Application No. 07/964,342
the Examiner asserts (Answer, pages 2 and 3) the obviousness
to the skilled artisan of modifying Preuss to produce colors
other than black and white.
In response, Appellants’ arguments (Brief, pages 12 and
13) center on the contention that the Examiner has failed to
establish a prima facie case of obviousness since all of the
claimed limitations are not taught or suggested in Preuss. In
particular, Appellants assert the lack of disclosure in
Preuss, which discusses only black and white images, of the
representation of color image data by combining specific
codewords which are themselves indicative of black and white
run-lengths.
