`
`Herbert Glover,
`
`Honorable Assistant Commissioner for Patents
`
`Washington, D.C. 20231
`
`Sir:
`
`AMENDMENT UNDER 37 CFR l.312[a[
`
`This Amendment is being submitted pursuant to 37 CFR 1.3l2(a) together with
`
`payment of the issue fee in the above-captioned application. A Microfiche Appendix
`
`containing a computer program listing is being submitted with this Amendment, pursuant
`
`SONY Exhibit 1010 - Page 36
`
`

`
`PATENTS
`1041 30-0001
`
`to 37 CFR l.96(c), for inclusion in the file wrapper of the subject application. Applicants
`
`respectfully propose to amend the subject application, as follows:
`
`In the Specification:
`
`Please amend the Specification, as follows:
`
`\I Page 1, before line 2, please insert the following:
`
`A-This application includes a Microfiche Appendix pursuant to 37 CFR 1.96(c)
`
`that contains a computer program listing of program commands in the commercially
`
`available Visual Basic language for implementing various functions of one embodiment
`
`of the center of the present invention described herein. The total number of microfiche
`
`and the total number of frames in the Microfiche Appendix are 2 and 103, respectively.
`
`A portion of the disclosure of this patent document or patent disclosure contains material,
`
`which is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the

`
`Please cancel the current written Appendix to the Specification, which Appendix contains
`
`a total of ninety-eight pages, and substitute in place of the cancelled written Appendix the
`
`Microfiche Appendix submitted with this Amendment.
`
`REMARKS
`
`This Amendment is being filed pursuant to 37 CFR 1.3 l2(a) together with the
`
`payment of the issue fee in the subject application.
`
`As required by the Examiner in the Notice of Allowability mailed March 3, 1999
`
`and the Offiée Action mailed November 6, 1998, the Specification has been amended to
`
`cancel the computer program listing that was submitted as a written Appendix to the
`
`Specification, as originally filed. Pursuant to 37 CFR 1.96(c), a Microfiche Appendix
`
`containing the listing is being submitted with this Amendment for inclusion in the file
`
`wrapper of the subject application, and pursuant to 37 CFR l.77(a)(6), the Specification
`
`has been amended to reference the Microfiche Appendix. No new matter is believed to
`
`have been added to subject application as a result of the changes being made thereto.
`
`It is respectfully submitted that this Amendment should be entered, since this
`
`Amendment is directed solely to formal matters that are unrelated to claim scope. In the
`
`event the Examiner deems further personal contact desirable in disposition of this case,
`
`the Examiner is invited to telephone the unsigned attorney or Attorney William A. Logi-
`
`nov, at (617) 951-2500.
