`
`With respect to ciaim ‘l, Nusbickel teaches a printing and publishing system which
`
`generates a printing piate~ready fiie from data provided remotely in rest time using a
`
`_ communication network, the printing and publishing system comprising: an end user
`
`faoiiity (109) coupled to a communication network 107,
`
`the end user faoliity providing
`
`page buiiding operations (from Web Browser 111 according to col. 4, lines 16-46), the
`
`page buliding operations including the design and construction of pages from images,

`
`Nusbickei teaches a central service facility (101) coupled to said communication
`
`network 107 . the centre; service faciiity providing storage, tile processing, remote
`
`access (communication over the Internet), content management operations {WEB
`
`Browser appiications); the tile processing operations including generating a plate-ready

`
`With respect to ciaim 7’, Nusbickei teaches wherein the centrai service facility
`
`further comprises a communication routing device coupling the centrai service taciiity
`
`to the communication network, a server which performs content management
`
`operations, and storage devices which contain eiectronic flies. See col. 5,1ines 50-60
`
`and co}. 4. tines 7-15.
`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103(3) which forms the basis for all
`
`Deviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
`
`(a) A patent may not he obtained though the invention is not identicaiiy discicssd or described as set
`forth in section 102 of this ttfle, if the differences between the subject matter sought to be patented and
`the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the
`invention was made to a person having ordinary skiit in the art to which said subject matter pertains.
`Patentabiiity shat! not be negatived by the manner in which the invention was made.
`
`Claims 5, 8 and 9 rejected under 35 U.S.CA 103(3) as being unpatentahle over
`
`Nusbickei in view of the Wei? Known Prior Art 2144.03 iofficiai notice).
`
`Nusbickel teaches all of the subject matter upon which the claims depend except for
`
`the specific language that the communication network has to be a WAN. switched
`
`network or an ATM type netirvorit. Nusbickei cleariy shows a network it}? which
`
`happens to be an interest network. However, it is wet] known to one of ordinary skiil
`
`'

`
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`Application/Conirol Number: 091865365
`Art Unit: 2824
`
`Page 5
`
`in the art of image transmission and communication of images that images can be
`
`transmitted over various type of networks. Furthermore, it is well known to transmit data
`
`over switched packet networks, WANs and ATM.
`
`Hence, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to simply reptace
`
`the network provided by Nusbickel with a WAN, ATM or packet switched network for
`
`I the purpose of routing printing information from and end userto a printing publishing
`
`system, as suggested by Nusbickel.
`
`Claims 2, 4 and B are objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base
`
`ciaim, but wooid be allowable if rewritten in independent form inctuding all of the
`
`limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.
`
`3.
`
`Ciaims 3040 are allowed.
`
`Ciaims 10-15 are altowed for the reason the prior art'dces not teach or suggest in
`
`claimed combination, “.,. parsing said thin Postscript file to extract data associated with
`
`low resoiution images and repiace with high resolution data, thereby forming a fat
`
`Postscript file... creating a portable document format file from the fat Postscript file and
`
`converting said PDF fife to a fiie in plate ready ion-net." _
