a microcontroller that receives the operating signal
generated by the energy source and a signal from the optical data
link and provides a control signal to the bistable display device
so that an image is generated on the label of the recording
media, wherein the label is automatically updated by the
recording/play device.
The examiner relies on the following references:
Bloch et al. (Bloch) 5,745,102 Apr. 28, 1998
Albert et al. (Albert) 6,118,426 Sep. 12, 2000
Claims 1-18 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). As
evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Bloch in view of
Albert.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the
examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal,
the rejection advanced by the examiner and the evidence of
obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the
rejection. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into
consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellant’s
arguments set forth in the briefs along with the examiner’s
rationale in support of the rejection and arguments in rebuttal
set forth in the examiner’s answer.
