Claims 1 through 14 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as
unpatentable over Schwob and Torres.
Reference is made to the brief and answer for the
respective positions of appellants and the examiner.
OPINION
We reverse.
The examiner has not, in our view, established a prima
facie case of obviousness with regard to the claimed subject
matter.
At the outset, we would note that the portions of Schwob
relied on by the examiner disclose a radio receiver and it is
difficult to determine what the examiner considers to be the
claimed “communication network” and a “computer coupled to the
communication network, the computer having a display unit.”
However, assuming the examiner considers the receiver itself to
be the claimed computer and that the receiver, together with
whatever stations are pulled in, form a “communication
network,” it is our view that Schwob simply does not disclose
