Appeal No. 2003-2116
Application No. 09/306,954
III. The 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of claims 8 and 9 as being
unpatentable over Stevenson in view of Tatemi and Friedman
As Friedman’s disclosure of a digital camera having a range
finder which may be acoustic, infrared, laser or optical in
nature does not cure the above noted flaws in the Stevenson and
Tatemi combination relative to the subject matter recited in
parent claim 1, we shall not sustain the standing 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) rejection of dependent claims 8 and 9 as being
unpatentable over Stevenson in view of Tatemi and Friedman.
SUMMARY
The decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 through 26
is reversed.
