Appeal No. 2004-0317
Application No. 09/319,822
Faroudja’s 525-625-line conversion to be “high definition.”
In any event, it is clear from Faroudja’s disclosure that it
converts a standard NTSC video source (525-lines, 60Hz, 2/1
interlaced) to a progressively scanned (525 or 625 line, 24 Hz)
television signal. There is absolutely no teaching, or
indication, in Faroudja of converting standard definition
formatted data to a format compatible with high definition
formatted data, or having compatible standard definition and
MPEG2 format signals, as required by the instant claims.
For this reason, inter alia, the examiner has not
established a prima facie case of obviousness with regard to the
instant claimed subject matter and we will not sustain the
rejection of the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
