Appeal No. 1998-1317
Application No. 08/522,112
Examiner asserts that col. 5, lines 9-15 of Huttenlocher
provide motivation to combine the teachings of Guberman and
Huttenlocher. However, this section of the reference merely
discusses the importance of automatically emphasizing selected
sections of text of a document image. Suggested use of the
emphasizing techniques identified in this section include
highlighting significant words or phrases in a document
produced by electrostatographic reproduction machines or
printers. Guberman is directed to recognition of cursive
writing. Upon our review, we find that Examiner has not met
the burden of showing evidence that one of ordinary skill in
the art would have been led to use of the particular
techniques for identifying significant image units taught by
Huttenlocher in a system for recognizing cursive writing as
disclosed by Guberman.
