Appeal No. 2001-0843
Application No. 08/945,415
to delineate the beginning and end addresses of pages in a
multi-page file, not an indication that separate files are
created for each page.
We have reviewed the Takayanagi reference, applied by
the Examiner to supply a teaching of generating a print data
file consisting of direct image data in the form of bit
mapped data, and non-direct image data in the form of non-
bit mapped data. We find no disclosure in Takayanagi,
however, which would overcome the deficiencies of Shope
discussed supra. As such, even assuming, arguendo, that the
skilled artisan would have been motivated to make the
Examiner’s proposed combination of Shope and Takayanagi, the
resulting system would not possess the features present in
the claims on appeal.
We have also reviewed the Deschuytere reference applied
by the Examiner to address the continuous tone file feature
of dependent claims 7 and 14-18. We find nothing in
Deschuytere which would overcome the innate previously
discussed deficiencies of Shope and Takayanagi.
