function. He further fails to allege, let alone show, that the other references cure the
deficiency of NuWave and Cool Edit. Absent a teaching or suggestion of generating a
spectral graph including an amplitude of each one of a plurality of frequency subbands
of a subband encoded audio signal as a function of time, the examiner fails to present a
prima facie case of obviousness. Therefore, we reverse the rejection of claim 1; of
claims 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9-16, which depends therefrom; of claim 17; and of claim 19,
which depends therefrom.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the rejections of claims 1-3, 5, 7, 9-17, and 19 under § 103(a) are
reversed.
