then he will be searching both databases." The examiner
continues, "The settings of the terminal are deemed to be the
criteria the user of the terminal is using to conduct his/her
search."
We agree with appellant that neither column 13 nor column 18
discloses searching certain locations. Further, we also agree
with appellant (Reply Brief, page 10) that nowhere does Taguchi
disclose that a user searching for only non-image data will not
search the image database. Therefore, we will not sustain the
anticipation rejection of claims 73 through 76.
CONCLUSION
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through 62
and 68 through 78 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is reversed.
