Appeal No. 2002-1868

of transferring commands would include adding the macro data
corresponding to the transferred command because, "[b]y doing so,
the system would enhance and provide better tools to end users in
terms of building macro file structure" (FR7-8; EA9).
Appellant argues that the examiner admits that Yuasa does
not describe claim 11 and Dwyer's discussion pertains to a tool
that transfers images in digitized format to an album and "[t]his
does not suggest adding the macro data corresponding to the
transferred command to the macro file" (Br8).
The examiner expands on the teachings of Dwyer (EA24-25),
but we do not consider this to address appellant's argument.
We do not understand the examiner's rationale or how
determining whether a text file is added to the album in Dwyer
corresponds to the claim limitation at issue. The statement of
motivation is also unpersuasive.
Nevertheless, we do not see how claim 11 distinguishes over
Yuasa. Yuasa allows transfer under user control of all or some
of the commands used to produce the command recall (macro)
function. When the commands are transferred to create the
command recall (macro) file, macro data corresponding to the
command must be added to the macro file to create the macro.
Thus, we sustain the rejection of claim 11 over Yuasa alone.
