Appeal No. 2003-0724
Application 08/858,809
In any event, we still will not sustain the rejection of claims 41, 42, 45 and 46
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 because there is a key element of the instant claims which is not
satisfactorily provided for in the examiner’s rejection.
According to instant independent claims 41 and 45, in addition to causing the

means, command register CR, for storing a plurality of graphic data programs. The
examiner cites column 1, lines 33-43, and column 2, lines 31-36, of Yoshida for the
recitation of “drawing command.” The examiner further points to column 2, lines 39-41,
for a teaching of each drawing command, or program, constituting a drawing command
code and a parameter field, to column 2, lines 41-46, for the drawing command code
being used for drawing the basic pattern of a graphic element, such as a straight line,
rectangle, circle..., and to column 2, lines 54-57, for a teaching of a parameter field for
specifying start/stop addresses, radius...
