reviewing the [E]xaminer's decision on appeal, the Board must
necessarily weigh all of the evidence and arguments." Oetiker,
977 F.2d at 1445, 24 USPQ2d at 1444. "[T]he Board must not only
assure that the requisite findings are made, based on evidence of
record, but must also explain the reasoning by which the findings
are deemed to support the agency's conclusion." In re Lee, 277
F.3d 1338, 1344, 61 USPQ2d 1430, 1434 (Fed. Cir. 2002). With
these principles in mind, we commence review of the pertinent
evidence and arguments of Appellant and Examiner.
Appellant argues that neither Honjo nor Moronaga teaches or
suggests selecting a value pattern including values from a
plurality of value patterns based on a random number as recited
in independent claims 1, 6 and 16. See pages 15 and 16 of the
brief and pages 5-9 of the reply brief.
We note that independent claim 1 recites "a selector to
select a value pattern including said values which are fixed
differential values from a plurality of value patterns based on
the random numbers." We also note that independent claim 6
recites "selecting a value pattern including said values from a
plurality of value patterns based on the random number" and
finally, we note that the remaining independent claim 16 recites
66
