              Appeal No. 2004-0547                                                                                      
              Application No.  09/536,894                                                                               


                     Claims 4 and 6 through 8 all ultimately depend upon claim 1 and necessarily                        
              contain the same limitations addressed above with respect to claim 1.  The examiner’s                     
              rejections of claims 4 and 6 though 8, rely upon the teachings of Yamadera in view of                     
              Lazik in combination with Mun or Gerszberg, or Ratner.  The examiner has not shown,                       
              nor do we find that Mun, Gerszberg, or Ratner teach or suggest automatically routing                      
              signals through the base video unit to said caller without the need for human                             
              intervention.  Thus, for the reasons stated supra concerning the rejection of claim 1, we                 
              will not sustain the examiner’s rejections of claims 4, 6 through 8 under 35 U.S.C.   §                   
              103.                                                                                                      






















                                                           7
