Appeal No. 1998-1323
Application 08/252,861
Gore and Associates, Inc. v. Garlock, Inc., 721 F.2d 1540,
1554, 220 USPQ 303, 313 (Fed. Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 469
U.S. 851 (1984).
The examiner indicates how he reads claim 25 on the
disclosure of Cragun [answer, pages 6-7]. We note that Cragun
receives frames of data having a first information-bearing
component (video) and a second information-bearing component
(closed captioned text). Cragun uses search requests to
associate desired closed captioned text information with its
accompanying video. Thus, the technique of Cragun results in
an association of video information and closed captioned
information. This associated information is displayed to the
user. We agree with the examiner that the invention as
broadly recited in claim 25 appears to be fully met by Cragun.
Appellants argue that Cragun forms a correspondence
between a user’s entry and closed captioned text whereas the
claimed invention forms a correspondence between each of the
representative frames and a segment of the second information-
bearing component [brief, page 9]. Appellants ignore the fact
that Cragun forms a correspondence between a user’s entry and
