          http://film.jcpenneyportraits.com (FJCP), (February 7, 2001)                                
               Claims 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10-15, 17, 18 and 23-27 stand rejected                           
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over FJCP in view                            
          of Monn.                                                                                    
               Claims 20-22 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as

               Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by                           
          the examiner and the appellants regarding the above-noted                                   
          rejections, we make reference to the answer (mailed April 21,                               
          2005) for the examiner's complete reasoning in support of the                               
          rejections, and to the brief (filed March 21, 2005) for the                                 
          appellants’ arguments thereagainst.                                                         
               Only those arguments actually made by appellants have been                             
          considered in this decision.  Arguments which appellants could                              
          have made but chose not to make in the brief have not been                                  
          considered.  See 37 CFR § 41.37(c)(1)(vii)(eff. Sept. 13, 2004).
