          Appeal No. 2006-0745                                                        
          Application No. 09/792,758                                                  

          The examiner responds that a cached copy is required in                     
          Treibitz in order to initiate a re-show when the display is                 
          turned back on by the judge.  The examiner asserts that a cached            
          copy must be forwarded to the remote locations in order for the             
          judge to present items separately to the audience [answer, pages            
          8-9].                                                                       
          Appellants respond that the portions of Treibitz cited by                   
          the examiner fail to indicate that a cached copy of the                     
          presentation is provided to the audience or that the audience can           
          control the flow or sequence of the presentation [reply brief,              
          pages 3-7].                                                                 
          We will sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 37-46.                   
          As noted above with respect to claims 34-36, the judge in                   
          Treibitz is the audience member for purposes of the rejection.              
          As also noted above, the judge can control the flow of the                  
          presentation in Treibitz.  Treibitz teaches that “[i]mages to be            
          displayed on the courtroom displays ... can be stored locally on            
          the remote presentation system computer(s) prior to the time they           
          are selected for viewing, or can be sent to the remote                      
          presentation system computer just prior to their display” [column           
          4, lines 20-25].  This teaching suggests that a copy (cached                

                                          8
