          Appeal No. 2003-1550                                                        
          Application No. 09/365,209                                                  

          components of a signal to be displayed “simultaneously,” does not           
          unequivocally lead to the conclusion that the components are                
          displayed at different respective times.  Thus, we find nothing             
          in Gillard, and the examiner has not convinced us of any teaching           
          in Gillard, that indicates the receipt of image data comprising             
          frames, with each frame having a plurality of subframes, “each              
          subframe representing a different component of the image frame              
          for display at different respective times . . . within a frame              
          period,” as required by claim 1.                                            
               The problem with the examiner’s attempt to force the                   
          disclosure of Gillard to “fit” the instant claimed invention                
          appears to lie in appellants’ R, G and B subframes (though these            
          are not specifically claimed in claim 1, the claim does recite              
          time periods TR, TG, TB), which are quite different from YUV                
          components.  It is the R, G and B subframes, not YUV components,            
          which receive motion compensation in the instant invention.  The            
          artisan would have understood, as appellants point out, at page 4           
          of the reply brief, that “YUV components in the conventional                
          sense are not for display at different respective times within a            
          frame period.”                                                              



                                         -8-
