section 18." Col. 7, ll. 29-33 (emphasis added). We view the reference's "final image"
as its output image
"The significance and the color table are temporarily stored in a storage
section 38 and then transmitted through a transmission section 40 to the image
receiver 32. Through a reception section 42, the image receiver 32 receives the data
and temporarily stores them in a storage section 44. Afterwards, the data are fed to a
reproduction section 46 for reproducing the image." Id. at ll. 33-39.
The passage of Suzuki relied on by the examiner teaches "that both the
transmitter and receiver can share a color table necessary and sufficient for the
reproduction of the image to be transmitted. . . ." Col. 8, ll. 20-22. Although the
transmitter and receiver can share a color table, we are unpersuaded that the same
color table is used for the source image and the output image. To the contrary, the
reference uses the color table created by the space transform section 14 for its source
image while using the color table created by the color table creation section 36 for its
final output image.
