Application No. 09/169,724
Furthermore, the examiner does not allege, let alone show, that the addition of
Ar or Martucci cures the aforementioned deficiency of Chujoh and Lane. Absent a
teaching or suggestion of assigning a priority to components of a video signal to specify
the chronological order in which the components are to be transmitted over a
communications network, we are unpersuaded of a prima facie case of obviousness.
Therefore, we reverse the obviousness rejection of claim 1; of claims 2-12, 14, and 15,
which depend therefrom; of claim 16; of claims 17-25 and 27-29, which depend
therefrom; of claim 30; of claims 31-41 and claims 43-47, which depend therefrom; of
claim 48; and of claims 49-57, which depend therefrom.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the rejections of claims 1-12, 14-25, 27-41, and 43-57 under
§ 103(a) are reversed.
