Appeal No. 1998-0650
Application 08/548,794
We note that Appellant's claim 9 recites an apparatus for
performing text-to-speech conversion of a set of input text
and Appellant's claim 15 recites a method for performing text-
to-speech conversion of a set of input text. We find that
both of these claims are directed to the practical application
of generating synthesized speech from text. Therefore, we
find statutory subject matter.
We have not sustained the rejection of claims 1, 2 and 4
through 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Accordingly, the Examiner's
decision is reversed.
