stack 70." For removing a stamp/page from a stack, note
column 12, lines 50-53 where it states "The stamp 75 on top of
the aligned stack 70 is the only stamp in the stack which may
be selected and/or removed from the aligned stack 70 by the
operations of the stylus."
Appellants argue, "Nielsen does not disclose or suggest
displaying a stack representation. Even if such was
disclosed, however, Nielsen does not disclose or suggest
displaying a plurality of stack representations as claimed."
(Brief-page 17). We disagree. Nielsen shows this in at least
Figure 8.2, page 129, where several previously visited nodes
are depicted. Each node is represented by a miniature, and a
node can represent a stack of pages, i.e. a book. Moreover,
Levine discloses plural stacks with the top page represented
by a miniature (note for example column 12, lines 25-44).
Appellants argue "Nielsen is silent with regard to
displaying a stack representation that is visually distinctive
from a page representation." (Brief-page 18). However, we
find this feature in Levine wherein it states, "and whether
the item is a document stamp, tray icon, icon for an aligned
stack of stamps, icon of a depository, or an accessory icon."
