OPINION
Our opinion addresses the claims in the following order:
• claims 2-5
• claims 6 and 7
• claims 8-12.
A. CLAIMS 2-5
Rather than reiterate the positions of the examiner or the appellant in toto, we
focus on the main point of contention therebetween. "[R]efer[ing] to figure 6, in
correlation to column 8, lines 16-25," (Examiner's Answer at 3), the examiner "considers
the transmitter and the receiver to respectively correspond to The Appellant's source
and output." (Id. at 4.) The appellant argues, "Suzuki does not use the same color
table for the source and output image." (Appeal Br. at 5.)
