Application No. 08/229,058
Applying Sklarew to the instant claim language, keeping in
mind the examiner’s interpretation of the “first area,” the
“first area of said display unit” and the “second area” as it
relates to Sklarew, we proceed as follows:
What is required is a “controller for displaying a desired
character in said first area on said display...” That is,
Sklarew must display a character in the handwritten area, on
the line in the window shown in figures 12A-G. Perhaps one
could say that the handwritten “98" is such a desired
character. However, the claim goes on to require that this
desired character appearing in the first area of the display
must be “copied from said second area when said pen is dragged
on a portion of said tablet...” It is clear that this would
require touching the pen to the displayed “98" shown in
Sklarew’s Figure 12G and dragging the “98" character back to
the line in the window of Figure 12C, for example. Clearly,
Sklarew does not move characters in this manner or in this
direction. Thus, while Sklarew’s device permits movement of
characters from the window to the final destination to be
displayed on the spread sheet, Sklarew does not contemplate
