          Appeal No. 2000-0187                                                        
          Application No. 08/430,943                                                  

                    the remote display driver is operative to cause                   
               the remote video display to display a video image in                   
               response to the digital data sent by the wireless                      
               receiver.                                                              
               The Examiner relies on the following prior art references:1            
          Folger et al. (Folger)        5,337,044           Aug. 09, 1994             
          Gaskill et al. (Gaskill)      5,440,559           Aug. 08, 1995             
                                                  (filed Nov. 10, 1993)               
          Carleton et al. (Carleton)   EP 0616448           Sep. 21, 1994             
               (Published European Patent Application)                                
               Claims 1-21 stand finally rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.              
          As evidence of obviousness, the Examiner offers Appellant’s                 
          admitted prior art in view of Carleton with respect to claims               
          1-4, 9-12, 17, 20, and 21, adds Folger to the basic combination             
          with respect to claims 5, 6, 13, 14, 18, and 19, and adds Gaskill           
          to the basic combination with respect to claims 7, 8, 15, and 16.           
               Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellant and the               
          Examiner, reference is made to the Briefs2 and Answer for the               
          respective details.                                                         


               1 In addition, the Examiner relies on Appellant’s admissions as to the 
          prior art appearing in the “Background of the Invention” beginning at page 1,
          line 7 of the specification.                                                
               2 The Appeal Brief was filed August 25, 1997 (Paper No. 11).  In       
          response to the Examiner’s Answer dated November 25, 1997, (Paper No. 12), a
          Reply Brief was filed December 15, 1997 (Paper No. 13), which was acknowledged
          and entered by the Examiner in the communication dated December 13, 2001    
          (Paper No. 15).                                                             
                                          3
