Appeal No. 2006-2763
Application 09/785,385
culling rules based on proximity in the virtual space (Specification 7:19-20), we
find the Examiner’s position to be reasonable and sufficient to support a prima
facie case of obviousness. Therefore, the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 7-9,
11 and 14-23 over DeSimone and Waters is sustained.
Finally, turning to the rejection of claims 2, 10, 12 and 13, we agree with the
Examiner (Answer 15-16) and find that the claims do not recite any features
related to using fixed zones. Therefore, based on the weight of arguments
presented by Appellant (Br. 5) and the Examiner’s response, we sustain the 35
U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 2, 10, 12 and 13 over DeSimone, Waters and
Lambright.
