patent, col. 10, lines 29-33), i.e., 4(4/4): 3(3/4) = 16:9, so
the process can be reversed by up-sampling the vertical by 4/3.
The color difference blocks can also be up-sampled, e.g., from
4:2:0 to 4:2:2. However, while there is up-sampling in
Campisano, it is only to change the aspect ratio and not to
up-sample the resolution "to the first resolution" as required by
all of the independent claims 1 and 10-12. There is no
motivation in Campisano to up-scale back to a first resolution.
Accordingly, we conclude that the examiner has failed to
establish a prima facie case of obviousness as to the independent
claims. Vetro does not cure the deficiencies of Choi and
Campisano with respect to the rejection of the independent
claims. Therefore, the rejection of claims 1-12 is reversed.
