Application No. 08/147,143
miniature representation of the marked page. (Appeal Br. at
13.)
We find the references would not have suggested the
representation of bookmarks of claim 32. The claim recites in
pertinent part “the bookmark buttons are represented in the
navigation dialog box as miniature copies of the pages with
which they are associated.” (Appeal Br. at 6.) Comparison of
the claim language to the references’ teachings evidences that
the references would not have suggested the claimed
representation. As aforementioned, one of ordinary skill in
the art would have understood Slate’s bookmarks to be
represented by an icon or name. Neither representation,
however, would have suggested a miniature copy of a page. For
the foregoing reasons, the examiner failed to show the
references would have suggested representing a bookmark button
as in claim 32. Accordingly, we find the examiner’s rejection
of this claim does not amount to a prima facie case of
obviousness.
