          Appeal No. 1998-2540                                                        
          Application No. 08/214,707                                                  


          December 30, 1996,  and was entered by the examiner.                        
               The disclosed invention pertains to an electronic filing               
          system for storing and retrieving information related to film               
          records.  More particularly, a film records both image                      
          information and separate photographic information relating to               
          the image.  The image information is sensed from the film                   
          while the corresponding photographic information is separately              
          read from the film.  The image information and the                          
          photographic information are then stored together on a                      
          recording medium.  Images on the recording medium can then be               
          retrieved by use of the corresponding photographic                          
          information.                                                                
          Representative claim 18 is reproduced as follows:                           
               18.  An electronic filing system for filing a                          
          photographed image recorded on a film, wherein the film                     
          records        photographic information relating to the image               
          in addition    to the photographed image, the filing system                 
          comprising:                                                                 
                    image sensing means for sensing a photographed image              
               recorded on the film;                                                  
                    reading means for reading the photographic                        
          information    that is recorded on the film in addition to the              
          photographed image;                                                         
                    a recording medium for recording a plurality of                   
          images    and the photographic information; and                             
                                          2
