          Appeal No. 1999-2637                                                        
          Application 08/813,864                                                      


               Turning next to independent claim 14, we find that this                
          claim likewise incorporates the limitations of “shared                      
          addressing of multiple display sessions through the single                  
          address on the NPT” and “only one of the multiple display                   
          sessions having the focus at any time.”  Having previously                  
          determined that neither Botterill, Marisetty nor Ashkin,                    
          either alone or in combination, teaches these claimed                       
          limitations, we reverse the Examiner’s rejection of claim 14                
          as obvious over Botterill, Marisetty and Ashkin.                            
               Dependent claims 3 and 4 incorporate the limitations of                
          independent claim 1.  Dependent claims 9 and 10 incorporate                 
          the limitations of independent claim 7.  We have already                    
          established that neither Botterill nor Marisetty teaches or                 
          suggests the limitations of claims 1 or 7, specifically the                 
          “shared addressing of multiple display sessions through the                 
          single address on the NPT” and “only one of the multiple                    
          display sessions having the focus at any time.”                             
               We further find that Clark does not close the gap by                   
          teaching or suggesting these claimed limitations.  Clark                    
          discloses a method and system for remotely securing networked               
          computers.  Clark, column 1, lines 34-36.  The network                      
                                          13
