Application No. 08/147,143
The seventh element of claim 31 specifies “navigation
means for changing the current page to a marked page and
displaying it when a bookmark button associated with the
marked page is selected from the navigation dialog box by
interaction of the stylus with the display screen.”
(Amendment A at 6.) As aforementioned, Slate’s bookmarks
permit a user to tap a stylus to “zip” to marked sections.
One of ordinary skill in the art would have understood that
when a user “zips” to a marked section, the current page is
changed to the marked page. Therefore, we find the references
disclose the sixth and seventh elements of claim 31.
Regarding claim 35, the appellants observe the
discussions regarding menus in the cited art describe, at
best, basic features unrelated to the suite of navigation
features of the claimed invention. (Appeal Br. at 14.) This
assertion is irrelevant. Giving the claim its broadest
reasonable interpretation, we find that the claimed invention
does not define over the references.
The claim specifies a browser as follows:
