Appeal No. 97-0802
Application 08/414,112
We agree with Appellant that there is no motivation in
Ellis to provide a transparent touch panel for a head-up
display. Ellis is not in the environment of head-up displays
and the only apparent reason for combining Ellis with Moss is
by use of Appellant's disclosure. Moss does not teach or
suggest that the head-up display should be overlaid on a
transparent touch panel. The Examiner has failed to establish
a prima facie case of obviousness. The rejection of claims 1-
7 is reversed.
