Appeal No. 2001-1009
Application No. 08/901,304
document (column 5, lines 58-61); Elischer records the
accumulation of black pixels at the predetermined fields in which
characters are written, extracting array coordinate positions of
the sequence of predetermined fields (column 6, lines 3-9) and
peaks define the positions of the various fields on the document,
but there is simply no suggestion in Elischer for determining a
field recognition score as a function of importance of a
character position within a field interpretation of a scanned
image, as claimed.
Accordingly, since each and every claimed element is not
disclosed, expressly or inherently, by Elischer, there is no
anticipation of the instant claimed subject matter by the
reference in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 102(b).
