resulted in the note pad of Vu/Post (i.e., additional
information associated with items currently on display) being
viewed only upon selection by the "three dimensional" pointer
when the user clicks on the three-dimensional model of
Borovoy.
Thus, even if the concept of a note marker, and a three-
dimensional pointer used to select information associated with
displayed figures were added to the Borovoy system, the
combination would not result in performance of a multimedia
function by "activation" of a pointing icon. Instead, the
pointing icon or pointer would have been used to activate
selection of information associated with the three-dimensional
figure.
In sum, the Board finds no reasons to combine Borovoy,
Vu/Post, Woolsey, and Lisle and that if combined the
references fail to disclose or suggest all features of the
invention recited in claims 30 and 42-43.
Attention is turned next to claim 40, the sole claim in
