          Appeal No. 96-1444                                                          
          Application 08/130,577                                                      

          decision states (D8):  "One of ordinary skill in the art would              
          have been motivated to store separate images in Tatsumi in                  
          interleaved byte planes in view of Wakeland or, alternatively,              
          to output the separate images in Wakeland to separate displays              
          in view of Tatsumi."  The rejection is based on the                         
          independent foreground and background images in Wakeland being              
          displayed on separate displays, not being used as overlays.                 
               Appellants argue (RR6):  "The combination of Wakeland                  
          with Tatsumi et al. suggest[s] none of the benefits achieved                
          by the claimed invention, namely the projection of the                      
          presentation of display on an external monitor while                        
          displaying other information (e.g., speaker's notes or the                  
          like) on an internal display, or the ability to be able to                  
          switch images between the two displays so one image can be                  
          queued up before it is sent to the viewing audience or so that              
          one can view speaker's notes while displaying the slide with                
          which the speaker's notes are associated."  We do not find                  
          these limitations expressly or implicitly recited in claim 1                
          and appellants do not point to any claim language.                          
               Appellants argue (RR6-7):  "Further, there is no hint in               
          the references of eliminating the controllers for each                      

                                        - 9 -
