Application No. 08/639,815
23 USPQ2d at 1784 (citing In re Gordon, 733 F.2d 900, 902, 221
USPQ 1125, 1127 (Fed. Cir. 1984)).
Here, the examiner asserts, "[t]he Deluca [sic] Reference
includes a memory means which contains data to enable the
device to have its time adjusted based on reception of a
signal containing location data." (Examiner's Answer at 3.)
Although DeLuca teaches storing data to enable a device to
have its time adjusted based on reception of a signal
containing location data, the former data do not concern time
zone boundaries. To the contrary, the former data comprise
locations and their respective time zones. More specifically,
"[t]able 60 shows a table of location signals and time zones
which are stored in memory means 38.... [A]n indicator
indicative of the time zone of the location signal is
displayed on display 30. The indicator is additionally shown
in table 60 (FIG. 4)." Col. 3, ll. 12-18. The examiner
fails to allege, let alone show, that Van Orsdel cures the
deficiency.
