Appeal No. 2001-2293
Application No. 08/984,602
teaching the respective first and second circuits. Image signal processing circuit 105
processes digital image signals to produce video signals. Iura col. 3, ll. 45-59.
Microcomputer 107 calculates the difference between coordinates in different cycles
(i.e., frames), and computer apparatus 109 moves a cursor accordingly. Id. at col. 2, l.
65 - col. 3, l. 4 and col. 4, ll. 32-65. Thus, while Iura may teach “circuits,” the rejection
falls short in showing disclosure or suggestion of all the claimed elements, thus failing
to set forth a convincing case for unpatentability of the claimed subject matter.
Since the burden of setting forth a prima facie case for obviousness has not
been met with respect to any of the independent claims, we do not sustain the section
103 rejection of claims 1-17 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Iura and
Siio.
