Appeal No. 1998-1389 Page 5
Application No. 08/553232
discloses every feature of the claimed invention, either
explicitly or inherently. See Hazani v. United States Int'l
Trade Comm'n, 126 F.3d 1473, 1477, 44 USPQ2d 1358, 1361 (Fed.
Cir. 1997) and RCA Corp. v. Applied Digital Data Systems,
Inc., 730 F.2d 1440, 1444, 221 USPQ 385, 388 (Fed. Cir. 1984).
Appellants assert (brief, page 4) that Brotsky does not
anticipate claim 49 because Brotsky does not teach or suggest
"a constructing module capable of constructing and displaying
a representation that comprises a field of reference that is
selected during the rendering of an image" (emphasis added).
Appellants further assert (id.) that Brotsky does not
anticipate claim 51 because Brotsky does not teach or suggest
"defining an image processing operation during a pause in the
rendering of an image" (emphasis added). According to
appellants (brief, paragraph bridging pages 4 and 5), Brotsky
can only modify the image representation before or after
rendering the image, but not during rendering. Appellants
state (id. at page 5) that in Brotsky, rendering an image is
performed exclusively during the image viewing stage, which is
only performed after the Acyclic graph (ACG) has been
constructed, and direct our attention to col. 7, line 50 -
