Appeal No. 1998-0668
Application 08/036,650
Appellant argues that "Herman does not teach printing
the original under the same printing conditions
corresponding to [the] color field corresponding to the
color impression" (Br5).
Of course, Appellant means to refer to printing an
image of the original, not the original itself. Hermann
discloses that "colour atlases are naturally only valid for
as long as the basic dyes, the methods of application and
and [sic] the substrates do not change" (col. 1,
lines 39-41). This would have informed one of ordinary
skill in the art, if such was not already well known, that
the printing should be done under the same conditions
(methods of application) as the color atlas in order to get
the true colors shown in the color atlas.
For the reasons stated above, the Examiner's finding of
anticipation is in error. The rejection of claim 20 is
reversed.
Obviousness
