          Appeal No. 2005-2310                                                        
          Application 10/287,168                                                      

          Omae corrects it, thereby completing the creation of a defect-              
          free master image (col. 9, lines 44-50).                                    
               For the above reasons we are not convinced of reversible               
          error in the rejection of claim 1 over Omae.  We therefore affirm           
          the rejection of that claim and claims 2-25 that stand or fall              
          therewith.                                                                  
                                      DECISION                                        
               The rejections of claims 1 and 2 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)              
          over Leonard, claims 1-3 and 5 under 35 U.S.C.  § 102(e) over               
          Badger, claims 1-4, 8, 9, 12 and 13 under 35 U.S.C.  § 102(e)               
          over Omae, claim 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Omae in view of               
          Steffan, claim 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Omae in view of                 
          Steffan and Scola, claim 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Omae in               
          view of Steffan, Scola and McCormack, claim 10 under 35 U.S.C.              
          § 103 over the combination of Omae and Yano, claim 14 under                 
          35 U.S.C. § 103 over Omae in view of Meisburger, claims 15-17               
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Omae in view of Meisburger and Yano,             
          claims 11, 18 and 19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Omae in view of             
          Sandland, claims 20 and 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Omae in               
          view of Sandland and Hayashi, and claims 22-25 under 35 U.S.C.              
          § 103 over Omae in view of Sandland and Matsumoto, are affirmed.
