Appeal No. 2002-0886
Application No. 08/674,937
As pointed out by our reviewing court, we must first
determine the scope of the claim. "[T]he name of the game is the
claim." In re Hiniker Co., 150 F.3d 1362, 1369, 47 USPQ2d 1523,
1529 (Fed. Cir. 1998).
We note that independent claim 12 recites
storing the at least one additional font in the storage
medium in a manner that minimizes or eliminates an
amount of unused space in the storage medium;
determining whether or not a key is associated with the
system; making at least one of the at least one
additional font stored in the storage medium available
to the system when the key is associated with the
system; and having only the data stored in the storage
medium be available to the system when the key is not
associated with the system.
We note that the other independent claims 17 and 21 recite
similar language.
Upon our review of Sone, we agree with the Examiner that
Figure 1 shows additional memory, external memory, stored thereon
additional fonts. However, we fail to find that Sone teaches
storing the additional fonts and unused memory space or providing
a key which is determinative of whether the user has available
the additional fonts.
