                Application 09/159,509                                                                        
                Patent 5,559,995                                                                              

                      12. After entry of the First Amendment, the application claims                          
                were 1-9.                                                                                     
                      13. In the First Amendment, Appellants presented arguments with                         
                respect to the patentability of amended claims 1, 7, and 8.                                   
                      14. Appellants’ amendments and/or arguments (see below)                                 
                addressed at least the following limitations of Appellants’ amended claim 1:                  
                      (1)    pictorial representation of objects in the virtual world;                        
                      (2) at least one of wireframe objects and polygon objects; and                          
                      (3)    at least one of wireframe and polygon-based [virtual world];                     
                      Limitations (1) and (2) were added to claims 1 and 7 by the First                       
                             Amendment.                                                                       
                      Limitation (3) was added to the “virtual world” found in original                       
                             claim 8.                                                                         
                      15. In the First Amendment at page 6, last three lines, Appellants                      
                argued the following:                                                                         
                             [Wexelblat’s information handling] differs greatly from                          
                             “a pictorial representation of objects in the virtual world”                     
                             which are grouped into “at least one of wireframe objects                        
                             and polygon objects”.                                                            
                The argument directly above addressed Finding of Fact 14 limitations (1)                      
                and (2) found in Appellants’ amended claims 1 and 7.                                          






                                                    - 8 -
