Appeal No. 97-1223 Page 8
Application No. 08/147,143
Soviero primarily describes Apple Computer’s Newton PDA.
The reference briefly predicts that Sharp’s OZ-9600 electronic
organizer would be forthcoming. Regarding the OZ-9600,
Soviero depicts a “MENU” button on the organizer’s screen. P.
48. The reference offers no description of the function of
the button.
Slate discloses PenBook™ software. According to the
reference, PenBook™ is electronic book software that behaves
like a paper book while using the power of high performance
computers. P. 1. Slate notes the software permits a user to
create bookmarks, which let him “zip” to frequently-used
sections of a document. P. 2. The reference depicts a menu
bar, which includes a “Bookmark” command. P. 3.
Comparison of the claim language to the references’
teachings evidences the references would not have suggested
the claimed displaying of a navigation dialog box. The
claimed navigation dialog box features a bookmark button and
a return to menu button. Capps teaches neither a navigation
dialog box, bookmark button, nor return to menu button.
