Appeal No. 1997-4351 Page 3
Application No. 08/435,375
Claims 1 through 7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as
unpatentable over Bates.
Reference is made to the brief and answer for the
respective positions of appellant and the examiner.
OPINION
We reverse.
The subject matter of instant claim 1 requires the return
of a window to its original position among a plurality of
cascaded windows based upon a generated list which provides the
order of the plurality of cascaded windows and an indicator of
whether each of the windows is currently in its respective,
original, cascaded position. While a little broader,
independent claim 4 still requires placing a first window
behind a second window after the first window has been opened
and is being returned to a first portion of the display wherein
the placement of the first window behind the second window in
the first portion of the display is based upon a generated list
