Appeal No. 1998-0866
Application No. 08/698,707
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to a camera with a
magnetic roller recorder for repetitively recording owner-
personalization information along a magnetic track on the
filmstrip (specification, page 1). A copy of the claims under
appeal is set forth in the appendix to the appellants' brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Brock et al. (Brock) 5,519,464 May 21, 1996
Goto et al. (Goto) 5,543,872 Aug. 6, 1996
Swanson et al. (Swanson) 5,572,267 Nov. 5, 1996
(filed Aug. 23, 1994)
Claims 1-5 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Swanson in view of either Brock or Goto.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellants regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper
No. 13, mailed October 1, 1997) for the examiner's complete
reasoning in support of the rejections, and to the appellants'
brief (Paper No. 12, filed August 18, 1997) for the
appellants' arguments thereagainst.
