Appeal No. 97-0642
Application 08/242,318
computer text font symbol is a "text extension system." We
conclude that a prima facie case of obviousness is established
with respect to claim 11 for the reasons stated with respect
to claim 1 and because Capps additionally discloses a
correction gesture (col. 7, line 58, to col. 8, line 4), which
provides further evidence that it would have been obvious to
use gestures to initiate different functions in a pen-based
computer interface.
Appellant argues that "[t]he text extension system
includes 'extensions' (which were defined above) for
converting between multiple text domains" (Br20) and that
"Claim 12 explicitly requires that the 'text extension
comprises one or more text extensions . . .'" (Br20).
Appellant argues that "the cited art does not disclose or
suggest the use or advantages of a text extension system with
multiple text domain capabilities" (Br20) and that "[n]either
the Sklarew, Capps et al., nor Kato et al. patents disclose or
suggest a system which is capable of multiple conversions
between multiple text domains" (Br20-21). Claim 11 requires
only "a text extension system" and the "one or more" language
of claim 12 is satisfied by a single text extension.
