          Appeal No. 96-2021                                                          
          Application 08/004,016                                                      


          Since we agree with appellant that this record does not                     
          support the examiner’s rejection, we do not sustain the rejection           
          of claim 29 and claims 30, 34 and 35 which are grouped therewith.           
          We now consider the rejection of claim 39 as                                
          unpatentable over the teachings of Nielsen.  Claim 39 is                    
          essentially the same as claim 29 except that data concerning a              
          most recent utilization of a link is displayed rather than data             
          of the first utilization as recited in claim 29.  Although the              
          markers in Nielsen are more closely related to a most recent                
          utilization rather than a first utilization, Nielsen still does             
          not teach the selective display of a date and time for reasons              
          noted above.  The invention of claim 39 also provides advantages            
          which are not suggested by the teachings of Nielsen.  Therefore,            
          we also do not sustain the rejection of claims 39 and 40 based on           
          this record.                                                                
          In summary, we have not sustained the examiner’s                            
          rejection of the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Therefore, the              
          decision of the examiner rejecting claims 29, 30, 34, 35, 39 and            
          40 is reversed.                                                             
          REVERSED                                                                    




                                          8
