Appeal No. 1997-4463
Application 07/988,712
example of using a plurality of binary switches to operate in
a different way for each message. The rejection of claims 3
and 4 is reversed.
35 U.S.C. § 103
Revesz and Humble
Revesz does not disclose (1) "an input device located at
each site, there being at least one input device corresponding
to each output device," (2) "means responsive to the operation
of the input device for one of said sites for initiating the
reading out of a message to be provided at the site from the
means for addressably storing [at the common source]," and
(3) "the reading out of a message for each site for which the
corresponding input device has been operating being initiated
when the corresponding input device is operated and proceeding
concurrently for all sites at a rate for each site which
depends on an information utilization rate for the site."
Appellant does not contest the Examiner's conclusion that
it would have been obvious to add an input device to each site
in Revesz (EA6). Thus, we do not address this limitation.
See 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(8)(iv) (1996) (arguments in the brief
must identify and address the errors in the rejection).
