          Appeal No. 97-0642                                                          
          Application 08/242,318                                                      

          Therefore, the arguments about the advantages of multiple text              
          domain conversions are not commensurate in scope with the                   
          claims.  The claimed text extension system is for "converting               
          displayed characters of the first text domain to characters of              
          the second text domain," which function is performed by                     
          software in Sklarew, and does not require any automatic                     
          determination of source and destination domains, nor does it                
          imply that the advantages argued by Appellant (Br20) are                    
          inherent.                                                                   
               Appellant has failed to rebut the prima facie case.  The               
          rejection of claim 11 is sustained.  Dependent claims 12-15,                
          19, and 20 have not been separately argued and fall with                    
          claim 11.  Therefore, the rejection of claims 11-15, 19 and 20              
          is sustained.                                                               

                    Claims 8, 9, and 16-18                                            
               Claims 8 and 9 further limit claim 7.  Although the                    
          rejection of claim 7 has been reversed, an additional                       
          reference to Capps is applied to claims 8 and 9.                            
               Capps discloses a user interface for a pen-based computer              
          for correcting handwriting recognition results.  The Capps                  
          interface ranks a list of candidate words (text strings) and                
                                       - 20 -
