          Appeal No. 2004-0257                                                        
          Application No. 09/296,724                                                  

          (Specific UI Interface of Fults) to the interface control module            
          (GUI Design); thus, we find no teaching of a request in Fults.              
          We find that neither Fults, Wilson, nor the combination,                    
          provides a spontaneously generated pull request emanating from              
          the interface controller module and sent to the application                 
          module, nor do they teach an interface control module that                  
          determines which GUI elements will be rendered and how those                
          elements will be structured as required by the claim.  Since the            
          limitations of claim 1 are neither disclosed nor suggested by the           
          applied references or any combination thereof, we will not                  
          sustain the rejection of claim 1, or of claims 2-6 which depend             
          therefrom, under 35 U.S.C. 103(a).                                          
               We also note that the examiner did not repeat the rejection            
          of the claims under 35 U.S.C. 112 in the Answer.  Accordingly,              
          such rejection is not before us on appeal.                                  








                                         -8-
