Appeal No. 96-2275
Application 08/010,063
and 47, stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being obvious
over WORDPERFECT alone.
Rather than repeat the positions of the appellants and the
examiner, reference is made to the brief and the answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
Since we agree with the examiner’s conclusion as to the
anticipation of claims 1, 2, 29, 30 and 59, we will sustain this
rejection as well as all of the remaining claims on appeal
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 for the reasons stated below. We
do not, however, sustain the rejection of independent claim 60
under 35 U.S.C. § 102.
The more substantive view of the examiner applying the
teachings and showings in WORDPERFECT to the claims on appeal is
found in the responsive arguments portion of the answer beginning
at page 10 as they directly relate to the separately identified
categories or groups of the claims argued by appellants
traversing the rejection in the brief. Appellants provided no
rebuttal. Inasmuch as the examiner has treated each of those
arguments laid out by appellants in detail and we fully agree
with them, we will sustain the rejection for the reasons set
forth in the examiner’s answer as a whole.
