Appeal No. 1998-0668
Application 08/036,650
with Appellant that no evidence is cited to support the
Examiner's bare conclusion. Phillips specifies the color
value data in terms of the printing ink colors involved and
the percentage screens, not a color coordinate system.
Thus, there is no motivation to apply a known CIE-LAB or
CIE-LUV color coordinate system to Phillips. Although
Hermann discloses that the color fields of the color atlas
are defined by a color measuring system in terms of color
coordinates a* and b* in the known CIELab color coordinate
system (col. 2, lines 31-32, 65-67), Hermann is not part of
the stated rejection over Phillips and the APA. Thus, the
rejection of claims 26 and 35 is reversed.
CONCLUSION
The rejections of claims 20-36 over Hermann are
reversed.
The rejection of claims 20-25, 27-34, and 36 over
Phillips and the APA is sustained. The rejection of
claims 26 and 35 over Phillips and the APA is reversed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
