examiner's rationale in support of the rejection and arguments in
rebuttal set forth in the examiner's answer.
Upon consideration of the record before us, we reverse. We
note at the outset that appellant asserts (brief, page 3) that
the claims stand or fall together. Consistent with this
statement, appellant presents arguments with respect to claim 1.
Accordingly, we consider claim 1 to be representative of the
group.
Turning to claim 1, the examiner's position is set forth on
pages 3 and 4 of the examiner's answer. The examiner asserts
that Fujita does not disclose skipping the DCSQ (dynamic control
sequence) if the system clock is greater than the command
executing start time. Nor does Fujita disclose decoding video
and sub-picture data at high speed. To overcome the deficiencies
of Fujita, the examiner turns to Daum for teachings of skipping a
display control sequence (or a frame of video) when the system
clock is greater than the command executing start time (of the
sub-picture). The examiner notes that although the display
control sequence in Daum is for video, that it obvious to do the
same for sub-picture data, since sub-picture data should be
synchronized with the audio. The examiner relies upon Tsukagoshi
