`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`1.
`
`This application has been examined. Claims 1-20 are pending.
`
`Notice to Applicant(s)
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
`
`2.
`
`The following is a quotation of the second paragraph of 35 U.S.C. 112:
`
`The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject
`matter which the applicant regards as his invention.
`
`3.
`
`Claim 4 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112, second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing
`
`to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which applicant regards as the
`
`invention.
`
`4.
`
`Claim 4 recites the limitation "printing customer facility" in line 2 of the claim. There is
`
`insufficient antecedent basis for this limitation in the claim.
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
`
`5.
`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103(a) which forms the basis for all obviousness
`
`rejections set forthin this Office action:
`
`(a) A patent may not be obtained though the invention is not identically disclosed or described as set forth in
`section 102 of this title, 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 skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains. Patentability shall not be negatived by the
`manner in which the invention was made.

`
`Claims 1,2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19, and 20 are rejected
`
`under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over Jebens et al (Jebens) (U. S. 6,321,231) in view
`
`of Jecha et al (Jecha) (U. S. 6,247,011).
`
`With respect to claim 1, Jebens discloses a printing and publishing system comprising an
`
`end user facility (14) coupled to a communication network (figure 2), the end user facility page
`
`building operations including the construction of pages from images, text and data available via
`
`the network (which reads on the userpreparing a document) (column 2, lines 40-46); a printing
`
`facility coupled to the network (the printer in part 10 of figure 2), and a central service facility
`
`(10) coupled to the communication network (figure 2), the central service facility providing
`
`storage (column 9, lines 13-20), file processing (column 9, lines 46-60), remote access (to enable
`
`searching) (column 9, lines 30-3 6), and content management (column 9, line 30 to column 10, line
`
`52); the content management including the capture and archival (column 9, lines 13-29), retrieval
`
`and reuse (column 12, lines 25-65) of electronic (digital) files containing text (column 12, lines
`
`25-65); content management operations further including the organization and cataloging of file .
`
`content (by filename) (column 9, lines 21-45) for browsing, searching and retrieving of files and
`
`data (column 12, lines 10-65).
`
`Jebens differs from claim 1 in that although he discloses converting the data to an Open
`
`Pre-press Interface file (column 10, lines 53-56), he does not clearly disclose prOviding pre-press
`
`services which provide imposition operations including the setting of pages on a particular plate as
`
`well as positioning and orientation of pages on the plate.

`Art Unit: 2622
`
`Jecha discloses a computerized pre-press system for the printing of documents prepared
`by a client (200) and stored in a server (202) (column 4, lines 54-61). “Pre-press” includes all
`
`printing operations prior to press work, including design and layout, typesetting/imagesetting,
`
`color separation, image assembly and platemaking. Therefore, it would have been obvious to one
`
`of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the invention to have modified Jebens to provide pre—
`
`press services. It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
`
`invention to have modified Jebens by the teaching of Jecha in order to give the user more control
`
`over how the final image is printed. 4
`
`With regard to claim 2, Jebens discloses the end user facility (14) comprises a
`
`communications routing device (43) coupling the end user device (14) to the network; a computer
`
`(46), and a proofer (50).
`
`‘t
`
`With respect to claims 3 and 8, Jebens discloses asynchronous transfer mode (column 6,
`
`lines 43-51).
`
`With regard to claim 5, Jebens discloses the central service facility (10) comprises a
`
`communication routing device (22); a server (32), and storage device (20 and 28).
`
`With respect to claim 6, Jebens discloses Ethernet ports (column 6, lines 38-51).
`
`With regard to claim 7, Jebens discloses a packet switched or cell switched network
`
`(which reads on the Internet, since the Internet is a packet switched network) (column 7, lines 1-
`
`21).

`
`With respect to claim 9, Jebens discloses the central service facility is located remotely
`
`from the print facility the end user facility (figure 2).
`
`With respect to claims 10, 12, and 14, Jebens discloses storing files containing information
`
`relating to images text and data on a computer server (column 8, lines 3-36 and column 9, lines
`
`13-20) and providing the files to a remote client for designing of a page layout (column 5, lines
`
`11-22). Jebens differs from claims 10, 12, and 14 in that he does not clearly disclose generating a
`
`PDF file from the data and generating a plate ready file from the PDF file.
`
`Jecha discloses generating a PDF file from image data (column 4, lines 30-61) and g
`
`' generating a plate ready file (which reads on a pre-press file) from the PDF file (column 4, lines
`
`54-61), and transmitting the data to a printer (column 4, lines 62-64), wherein the PDF file may
`
`be converted to Postscript (column 4, lines 54-61). Therefore, it would have been obvious to one
`
`of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the invention to have modified Jebens to generate a PDF
`
`file from the data and generate a plate ready file from the PDF file. It would have been obvious to
`
`one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the invention to have modified Jebens by the teaching
`
`of Jecha in order to convert the data to a format which would be more easily processed by the
`
`1 W
`
`printer.
`
`ith respect to claims 11 and 13, Jebens discloses proving the file over the network to the
`
`user for revision of the page layout (column 5, lines 11-22).

`
`With respect to claims 16, 18, and'19 Jebens discloses storing high resolution files on the
`
`computer (column 2, lines 64-67); generating low resolution files corresponding to the high
`
`resolution files (column 2, line 64 to column 3, line 1), and providing the low resolution files to a
`
`remote client for the designing of a page layout (column 5, lines 11-22).
`
`Jebens differs from claims l6, l8, and 19 in that he does not clearly disclose generating a
`
`PDF file from the data and generating a plate ready file from the PDF file.
`
`Jecha discloses generating a PDF file from image data (column 4, lines 30-61) and
`
`generating a plate ready file (which reads on a pre-press file) from the PDF file (column 4, 'lines
`
`54-61), and transmitting the data to a printer (column 4, lines 62-64), wherein the PDF file may
`
`be converted to Postscript (column 4, lines 54-61); Therefore, it would have been obvious to one

`of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the invention to have modified Jebens to generate a PDF
`
`file from the data and generate a plate ready file from the PDF file. It would have been obvious to

`
`Claim 4 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over Jebens in view of
`
`Jecha as applied to claim 1 above, and further in view of Fujisawa et a1 (Fujisawa)(U. S.
`
`6,3 84,932).
`
`"
`
`With respect to claim 4, Jebens as modified differs from claim 4 in that he does not clearly
`
`disclose the printing facility comprises a communication routing device coupling the print facility
`
`to the network; a computer which performs impositioning operations 'and a platesetter which
`‘t
`
`exposes a printing plate.
`
`Fujisawa discloses a digital impositioning apparatus comprising a communication routing
`
`device (modem) coupling the print facility to the network; a computer (display device) which
`
`performs impositioning operations (column 14, lines 12-43) and a platesetter which exposes a
`
`printing plate (figure 6). Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary. skill in the art
`
`at the time of the invention to have modified Jebens as modified wherein the printing facility
`
`comprises a communication routing device coupling the print facility to the network; a computer
`
