`
`decision in the KSR case does not overrule and is not inconsistent with the above-noted Gore or
`
`Tee Air decisions of the Federal Circuit.
`
`All of the currently pending claims require an automatic and without user intervention
`
`feature that allows a computer to understand how to talk to and receive data from the claimed
`
`device without a user having to, for example, load applications software onto a computer before
`
`being able to transfer data to it.
`
`It is respectfully submitted that, in accordance with the above—
`
`referenced case law, all currently pending claims should be found to be patentable. One reason
`
`for this is that the present invention deviates away from the accepted state of the art evidenced by
`
`the camera, software and scanner references of record, which affirmatively require user
`
`intervention — a user must, for example, load applications software onto a computer to be able to
`
`transfer pictures to it from a digital camera.
`
`The currently pending claims should be found to be patentable for a number of additional
`
`reasons. For example, the new claims further specify that the claimed device is capable of
`
`generating digitized analog data sets before the claimed device is connected to a personal
`
`computer. The undersigned attorney is not aware of any proper combination of references that
`
`teaches or suggests this claim element.
`
`As one example, and assuming for the sake of argument that a “plug and play keyboar ”
`
`is prior art and that it is proper to combine such assumed prior art with a camera reference such
`
`as US Patent No. 5,470,335, such a purported combination of references would not render
`
`obvious the subject matter of the currently pending claims. One reason for this is that all claims
`
`require the capability of generating digitized analog data before the claimed device is connected
`
`to a personal computer.
`
`In direct contrast to this, keyboards create useful data only after they are

`
`connected to a personal computer and, therefore, the combination of the keyboard with the “335
`
`patent would be able to create useful data on a plug and play basis only after the combination is
`
`connected to a personal computer. For this additional reason, for example, it is respectfully
`
`submitted that all currently pending claims should be found to be patentable.
`
`The Examiner’s attention is drawn to the fact that each independent claim includes a
`
`dependent claim that recites a combination of a personal computer with the device claimed in the
`
`corresponding independent claim.
`
`It is the specific intention of the client and the undersigned
`
`attorney to ensure that all currently pending claims are first directly infringed by the manufacture
`
`or sale of the claimed device, not by the combination of the claimed device and a personal
`
`computer.
`
`As a follow—up to the previously filed notice of litigation, additional lawsuits involving
`
`Fujifilm, Samsung, Olympus, MEI and JVC have been filed with respect to the same patents at
`
`issue in the previous notice. A multi—district litigation may be declared in the future.
`
`The undersigned attorney requests the Examiner to review all the prior art submitted in
`
`connection with this and the parent application, and to base his decision on the patentability of
`
`the currently pending claims only on the remarks made in this paper, not on arguments or
`
`amendments made in any other paper or any application of which this application claims priority.
`
`It is the specific intention of the applicant that the independent claims noted above should
`
`be interpreted to stand on their own.
`
`In this regard, the limitations of the claims depending from
`
`any dependent claim should not be read into any independent claim for any reason.

`
`It is respectfully submitted that the new claims are in condition for allowance and,
`
`therefore, a formal notice to that effect is earnestly solicited.
`
`In this regard, the Examiner is
`
`respectfully requested to contact the undersigned attorney upon entry of this amendment.
