Appeal No. 2002-0042
Application 08/211,971
OPINION
We reverse.
As indicated at pages 5 and 6 of the principal brief on
appeal, each independent claim 34, 38, 40 and 41 contains
comparable features to the "displaying said data" clause of
representative independent claim 34 on appeal reproduced earlier
in this opinion.
Since we find ourselves in general agreement with respect to
the positions set forth by appellants in the brief and reply
brief, after our own consideration of the positions of the
examiner and appellants and after a thorough study of Nakayama,
we reproduce the following from pages 6-7 of the brief:
Thus, each of the independent claims recites the
concept of a common image that is simultaneously
observable by each of the users, and which includes a
plurality of mutually exclusive, or dedicated, display
areas that are respectively associated with the
individual users' input devices, such as the work
spaces 35 illustrated in Figures 7 and 8 of the
application. The Nakayama et al. patent does not
disclose, nor otherwise suggest, such a concept.
