Appeal No. 1998-2679
Application No. 08/148,765
specification at page 12 simply shows how the primary colors
can be expressed in terms of the color parameters, and not
that the u'v' are used in place of the color primaries in the
transformation of color images into the "intermediate color
primaries." We agree with Appellants that Newman does not
disclose the transformation of color-image signals into the
color primaries space. Therefore, Newman does not meet the
above recited limitation of claim 9. Thus, we do not sustain
the anticipation rejection of claim 9 by Newman.
All the other claims on appeal, claims 1-3, 5-8 and 10,
each have the limitation we have discussed above. Therefore,
for the same rationale, we do not sustain the anticipation
rejection of these claims by Newman.
In conclusion, we reverse the Examiner's final rejection
under 35 U.S.C. § 102 of claims 1-3 and 5-10.
