          Appeal No.  97-1273                                                         
          Application No. 08/269,818                                                  


          Independent claims 14 and 16 also recite that the                           
          remote controller has a voice transducer for receiving voice                
          input signals and a transmitting means for selecting and                    
          annotating the displayed images.  For reasons discussed above               
          with respect to claim 15, these features are neither taught                 
          nor suggested by the system of Glick.                                       









          In summary, the examiner’s rejection of claims 2-5 and                      
          8-16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based on Glick alone fails to                    
          provide the requisite evidence of obviousness necessary to                  
          support such a rejection.  Therefore, the decision of the                   
          examiner rejecting claims 2-5 and 8-16 is reversed.                         
                                                                                     
                                      REVERSED                                        






                                          7
