          Appeal No. 2006-1643                                       Παγε 23                          
          Application No. 09/845,589                                                                  

               At the outset, we make reference to our findings, supra,                               
          with respect to the teachings and suggestions of FJCP and Monn.                             
          Claim 24 recites an image product produced by the method of                                 
          claim 23.  We will sustain the rejection of claim 24 for the same                           
          reasons as we sustained the rejection of claim 23, and add that                             
          the scrapbook page resulting from the combined teachings of FJCP                            
          and Monn would have suggested the limitations of claim 24, in the                           
          same manner as they meet the limitations of claim 23.                                       
               We turn next to claim 25.  Appellants rely upon the                                    
          arguments presented for the reversal of the rejection of claim 1.                           
          In addition, appellants assert (brief, page 14) that style                                  
          selection capability and production of images responsive thereto                            
          is not provided, taught or suggested by FJCP or Monn.                                       
               The examiner’s position (answer, page 6) is that claim 25 is                           
          rejected for the same reasons as claim 1.  Claim 25 recites,                                
          inter alia, “allowing the user to specify reproduction of the                               
          image as a series of images with different characteristics                                  
          associated with a scrapbook page style” and “creating the images                            
          responsive to the style.”  This is met by the user in FJCP                                  
          specifying the pictures to be printed as the Total Choice                                   
          Collection where three different sizes of the same image are                                
          printed on the same photograph substrate.  Upon selecting the
