`
`Dear Sir:
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 1.97, a list of documents is disclosed on the attached Form PTO-
`
`1449 that may be material to the examination of this application. It is submitted that no fees are
`
`due in connection with this Information Disclosure Statement because it is being submitted
`
`before the First Office Action has been mailed from the US PTO. Copies of references that are
`
`not US patents or that were not cited in the parent application are being submitted herewith.
`
`There are a number of references cited in the parent of this application. One purpose of
`
`this IDS is to include all such prior art references so that they are affirmatively listed on any
`
`patent that is granted on this application. Another purpose of this IDS is to bring the following
`
`additional references to the attention of the Examiner: US Patent Nos. 6,441,854; 6, 163,344;

`
`5,754,227; 5,640,204; 5,506,617 and 5,475,441; and German Published Appln. No. DE 296 07
`
`724 U I . An English translation of the German '724 patent is submitted herewith.
`
`A Japanese language brochure describing the Nikon Coolpix 100 camera, and an English
`
`translation thereof, are submitted herewith for the Examiner's consideration. A one page
`
`specification describing the Nikon Cool pix 100 camera also is submitted herewith. The
`
`Examiner is asked to assume, only for purposes of examination of the instant application, that
`
`these documents actually are prior art to all currently pending claims. However, this request
`
`should not be construed as being an admission regarding the prior art status of these documents
`
`or of the Nikon Cool pix 100 camera described therein. Applicant expressly reserves the right to
`
`revoke this request, and to dispute in all forums whether the Nikon Coolpix camera and/or the
`
`two documents concerning it actually are prior art.
`
`The Examiner's attention is drawn to the fact that US Patent Nos. 5,917,545 and
`
`6, 163 ,344 illustrate cameras that appear to be substantially similar, if not identical, to the Nikon
`
`Cool pix 100 camera discussed in the one-page specification and the promotional brochure.
`
`No inferences should be drawn that the list filed herewith represents a comprehensive
`
`investigation or that any material disclosed is equivalent to the subject invention. The Examiner
`
`is requested to review the document(s) and determine the extent of the materiality of the
`
`document disclosures with respect to the present invention.
`
`The discussion of any art and the citation of any document(s) herein or in the papers filed
`
`contemporaneously herewith is not to be construed as an admission that the art or document
`
`disclosure is necessarily within the invention field of endeavor, that the ai1 or document

`
`disclosure is necessarily prior in time to a particular date which may be relevant to the instant
`
`patent application, and/or that the art or document disclosure is otherwise necessarily prior art as
`
`defined by the patent law with respect to the instant invention and application.
`
`Also, there is reserved the right to later set forth how the instant invention is
`
`distinguished over the disclosure of any document or other art, including the disclosures of the
`
`art and document(s) recited herein, that may be cited by the Examiner in rejecting a claim in the
`
`instant patent application. The recitation herein of the art and document(s) is not to be construed
`
`as an assertion that more pertinent art could not possibly be in existence.
`
`It is respectfully submitted that all cmTently pending claims are in condition for
`
`allowance and, therefore, that a formal notice to that effect is earnestly solicited.
