Appeal No. 2006-1346 Παγε 7
Application No. 09/845,542
We agree with the examiner that paragraph 0067 of Sherr discloses detecting a
screen location from screen coordinates of a computer mouse in that Sherr discloses
[0067] that a cursor is placed on a image and a mouse is clicked to activate the image.
We will therefore, sustain the examiner's rejection of claim 10.
In regard to claims 11 to 14, appellants repeat the arguments made for claims 1
and 7 to 9. We will therefore, sustain the examiner's rejection of these claims for the
reasons given above in regard to the examiner's rejection of claim 1 and 7 to 9.
In regard to claim 15, which recites that the shopping summary is retired upon
detection of a right click if the shopping summary is shown and turned on upon
detection of a right click if the shopping summary is not shown, the examiner takes
Official Notice that turning programs on and off utilizing a single on/off switch activation
mechanism such as a mouse click is old and well known in the art and such would have
been obvious to show information that was currently needed and not show information
that was not currently needed.
The appellants argue that there is no motivation to modify the Sherr system so as
to include the subject matter of claim 15.
We do not agree. Sherr discloses that information can be displayed upon the
detection of a right click as we discussed above. Sherr also discloses that the
information displayed may be additional information for example, about the content to
be purchased [0011], or links to websites to purchase a physical copy of the content
