               Appeal 2007-0603                                                                           
               Application 10/616,668                                                                     

               “facilitate” the transfer of the image to the print medium as set forth in claim           
               44 on appeal.                                                                              
                                       CONCLUSIONS OF LAW                                                 
                     Anticipation has not been established by the Examiner because Takei                  
               does not disclose each and every limitation of the claimed invention set forth             
               in claims 33, 38 to 41, 43 to 46, 49, 51, and 52.                                          
                     Obviousness has not been established by the Examiner because Takei                   
               neither teaches nor would have suggested to one of ordinary skill in the art               
               the subject matter set forth in claims 37, 47, 48, and 50.                                 
                                               DECISION                                                   
                     The anticipation rejection of claims 33, 38 to 41, 43 to 46, 49, 51, and             
               52 is reversed.  The obviousness rejection of claims 37, 47, 48, and 50 is                 
               reversed.                                                                                  
                                              REVERSED
