          Appeal No. 2004-2266                                                         
          Application No. 09/847,999                                                   
          user selected image is embedded in the stored hyperlink, the                 
          Examiner ignores the claim requirement that the hyperlink and the            
          image embedded in the hyperlink be automatically copied to a                 
          second window.  Thus, assuming, arguendo, that it would have been            
          obvious to combine Jain with Newfield and Gennaro, as held by the            
          Examiner, the combination would still fall short of teaching or              
          suggesting the claimed copying of graphical elements of the                  
          hyperlink to the second window or the fact that graphical element            
          comprises a graphical image embedded in the hyperlink.                       
               In view of our analysis above, we find that the Examiner has            
          failed to set forth a prima facie case of obviousness because the            
          necessary teachings and suggestions related to the claimed                   
          embedded images in the hyperlink are not shown.  Accordingly, we             
          do not sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of independent claim            
          31, nor of claims 32 and 33 dependent thereon.
