Appeal No. 1998-0668
Application 08/036,650
Appellant argues that Hermann is a color matching
system, not a process for transferring or reproducing
multicolored images on textile substrates. In particular,
Appellant argues that step (f), "producing a copy of the
multicolored image of the original by printing the area of
the textile substrate corresponding to each image area of
the original," is not suggested by Hermann (Br8).
The Examiner refers generally to columns 2 and 5 (FR6;
EA6-7). However, we do not find any teaching of the
printing process at these columns. Hermann is not directed
to the printing process itself, but only to matching colors
for use in color atlases and in printing.
Appellant argues that Hermann does not disclose or
suggest the "same" printing conditions for the color atlas
and the textile substrate onto which the image will be
copied, which limitations are recited in step (f) of claims
20 and 21 (Br8).
The Examiner states (EA12): "This argument has not
been considered, since [the] feature is not being claimed.
It appear[s] that the printing original has the same
printing conditions as the test substrate in step (a)."
