Appeal No. 2000-1727
Application 08/486,114
Adcock and Morishita. The Examiner has provided a statement
withdrawing objections to patentability based on the judicially
created doctrine of double patenting. Therefore, that issue is
no longer on appeal.
Appellants first argue that Adcock and Morishita lack many
important features of the present invention, and when combined,
do not lead to the claimed invention. See Brief page 13, lines
15-17. Specifically, Appellants argue that Adcock does not teach
or suggest the first mode for recording one picture even if the
recording trigger is sustained and the second mode for
continuously recording the image signal, as called for in claims
33 and 44. See Brief page 12, lines 1-4. Further, Appellants
argue that Morishita does not disclose any change-over means of
claims 33 and 44, and only teaches a change-over between a single
image mode and the respective image mode with a switch (25). See
Reply Brief page 6, lines 5-8.
The Examiner argues that Morishita discloses a CCD imager
operable in single frame and repetitive frame modes having
change-over means (25) for changing over a first mode wherein an
image signal for only one picture is outputted and a second mode
wherein the image signal comprising more than one picture is
continuously outputted. See Answer page 11, lines 3-6.
