Appeal No. 96-1343
Application 07/993,225
As to claims 5 and 12, Spell Check’s step of displaying to
the user the “2 Skip” selection further comprises the step of
providing to the user a selection of terminating the provision of
the “Not Found” message upon the occurrence of a “selected” user
action, since the user must enter the specific keystroke
corresponding to “2" in order to select the “2 Skip” selection.
Thus, Spell Check also anticipates these dependent claims.
In summary, the examiner’s § 102 rejection of the appealed
claims is reversed, and a new rejection of claims 1, 2, 5, 9, 10
and 12 pursuant to our authority under 37 CFR § 1.196(b) has been
made.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
The new rejection under 37 CFR § 1.196(b) should not be
considered final for the purpose of judicial review.
Any request for reconsideration or modification of this
decision by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences based
upon the same record must be filed within one month from the date
of the decision (37 CFR 1.197). Should appellants elect to have
further prosecution before the examiner in response to the new
rejection under 37 CFR 1.196(b) by way of amendment or showing of
facts, or both, not previously of record, a shortened statutory
