Appeal No. 1997-3206
Application No. 08/350,274
As a final comment, we have reviewed the disclosures of
Borland and Gusenius, applied by the Examiner to address,
respectively, the features of displaying currently executed
instructions and the use of numerals to indicate instruction
execution, recited in several dependent claims. We find
nothing in either of these references which would overcome the
innate deficiencies of Brown.1
1At page 6 of the Answer, the Examiner’s comments suggest
that Borland provides a visual indication of the progressive
sequence of execution of code. Aside from the fact that the
Examiner’s comments do not provide an exploration of Borland
in sufficient detail to enable a determination of the
correctness of the Examiner’s statement, we decline to rule on
the merits of such a contention since the Borland reference
has not been applied against the independent appealed claims
1, 12, and 23.
