Appeal No. 96-1317
Application 08/250,302
claims 7 and 13 on appeal. However, we are unable to agree with the examiner’s
conclusion of the obviousness of displaying any events scheduled on any day of said
calendar on the calendar itself and to further do so in a vertically stacked manner.
PackRat’s weekly calendar showing for any given day to the upper-right of his figure is
horizontally-based for any day. The apparent busy bars for the day schedule portion at the
bottom of PackRat’s figure appear to be, in one sense, vertically stacked but they are not
shown to be displayed on the overall calendar for the whole month itself. There is nothing
that we can derive from and are not persuaded by the examiner’s reasoning of the
combinability from TIME LINE to modify these depictions. The GANTT outline shown at the
bottom of page 5-3 of TIME LINE may be construed as vertically stacked, but is arranged
in such a manner as to overlap the days, weeks, and months, and is not taught or
suggested to be depicted on any given monthly calendar.
