          Appeal No.   2006-1134                                                       
          Application No.  10/002,438                                                  
               Thus, Littlefield stores the font attributes so that in                 
          displaying the non-default text items in a search result Web                 
          page, all or a portion of the appropriate search result listing              
          may display those attributes (col. 5, lines 54-59).  Expanding               
          upon the rationale applied by the Examiner in combining the                  
          references, we note that storing the font attributes in                      
          Littlefield does suggest to one of ordinary skill in the art the             
          information needed for displaying a retrieved searched item at an            
          appropriate location within a Web page.  Brisebois on the other              
          hand, not only discloses storing the positions of the scroll bars            
          (SX, SY) within the bookmark (Fig. 3D; col. 5, lines 49-53), but             
          also suggests that the stored information may include any one or             
          more locator element information such as the scroll bar positions            
          and a dimension pair (WX, WY) which identifies the dimensions of             
          the window in which the page is to be displayed (Fig. 3F; col. 6,            
          lines 18-20).  Additionally, Brisebois explains that using the               
          dimensions information, the display window is resized to those               
          dimensions (col. 6, lines 65-66), which requires fitting the text            
          within that particular size display window.  Since a search                  
          result Web page is still considered a Web page and may be                    
          bookmarked, we find the Examiner’s reliance on the combination of            
          Brisebois and Littlefield for storing the font attributes as well            

                                          6
