            Appeal No. 2000-0376                                                                         
            Application 08/753,236                                                                       

            with the Examiner's reasoning about preventing counterfeiting,                               
            but the Examiner has provided other reasons for the modification,                            
            which have not been shown to be in error.  Accordingly, the                                  
            rejection of claim 19 is sustained.                                                          
                  Appellant notes the limitations of claims 20 and 21, but                               
            does not state what the error is in the Examiner's rejection as                              
            required by 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(8)(iv).  Accordingly, the rejection                            
            of claims 20 and 21 is sustained.                                                            

            Claims 23, 24, 29, 32, and 33 ) Dietrich, Bruns, Morrison,                                   
            and Kim                                                                                      
                  Since claims 23 and 24 depend on claims 13 and 15,                                     
            respectively, and the rejection of these claims has been                                     
            reversed, the rejection of claims 23 and 24 is reversed.                                     
                  Claim 29 recites the material used to record the indicia,                              
            claim 32 recites printing information about the ink, and claim 33                            
            recites printing information about the toner.  The Examiner                                  
            relies on the reasoning used in the rejection of claims 12, 14,                              
            27, and 30 (EA20).                                                                           
                  Because the references do not disclose or suggest recording                            
            information regarding the type of ink, toner, or material used to                            
            record the indicia, as discussed in the rejection of                                         
            claims 12-15, the rejection of claims 29, 32, and 33 is reversed.                            




                                                - 29 -
