Appeal No. 1997-1665 Page 20
Application No. 08/289,134
Claims 6-9
The appellants argue that the prior art references fail
to teach or suggest the features of claims 6-9. (Appeal Br.
at 15-16.) Claim 6 and 7 each specifies in pertinent part the
following limitations: "a plurality of line segments are
displayed on said display, and said operation serves to cause
said at least two line segments to intersect each other
adjacent to a first set of end points of said two line
segments, said command rearranging said first set of end
points of at least two line segments so as to align said first
set of end points on a common straight line." Claim 8 and 9
each specifies in pertinent part the following limitations: "a
plurality of line segments are displayed on said display, and
said operation serves to enter parallel lines at a
predetermined angle with respect to said at least two line
segments, said command rearranging said at least two line
segments in parallel to each other." Accordingly, the
limitations require rearranging line segments to align end
points on a common straight line or to be parallel.
