          Appeal No. 2001-1135                                                        
          Application 09/002,733                                                      

          quoting In re Rouffet, 149 F.3d 1350, 1359, 47 USPQ2d 1453, 1459            
          (Fed. Cir. 1998).  “[T]he Board must not only assure that the               
          requisite findings are made, based on evidence of record, but               
          must also explain the reasoning by which the findings are deemed            
          to support the agency’s conclusion.”  Lee, 277 F.3d at 1344, 61             
          USPQ2d at 1434.  With these principles in mind, we commence                 
          review of the pertinent evidence and arguments of Appellant and             
          Examiner.                                                                   
               Upon our review of LaJoie we find that indeed LaJoie does              
          teach in column 5, lines 10 through 22, that a comprehensive                
          channel navigation would enable the cables subscriber to more               
          easily navigate through the abundance of programming and services           
          that are available wherein a program information banner may be              
          displayed whenever the user changes channels.  Also we find that            
          LaJoie teaches in column 6, lines 47 through 68 that LaJoie’s               
          invention includes a highlighted channel banner.                            
               However, we fail to find that LaJoie teaches that the                  
          highlighted channel banner includes basic field for displaying in           
          a consistent form regardless of selected sources, wherein the               
          selected form comprises a same displayed location and format of a           
          basic field regardless of the selected source.  In particular,              

                                          8
