          Appeal No. 1999-2057                                                        
          Application 08/405,062                                                      

          transmission of "graphic and textual facsimile data" (col. 6,               
          line 33), i.e., graphic facsimile data and textual facsimile                
          data, which both fall into the category of data.  The Examiner              
          misinterprets "graphic . . . facsimile data" as "graphic data               
          to be that other than fax and voice data" (EA17).  "Video"                  
          refers to the component of a television signal that contains                
          the picture information.  Because Rae does not disclose at                  
          least "a video manager for connecting the conversation manager              
          with a video server in the network," it does not anticipate                 
          claim 17.  The anticipation rejection of claim 17 is reversed.              

          35 U.S.C. § 103(a)                                                          
               The Examiner's obviousness reasoning with respect to                   
          claim 11 does not cure the deficiencies of Rae with respect to              
          claim 1.  The obviousness rejection of claim 11 is reversed.
