Appeal No. 1998-1520
Application No. 08/632,638
Since the Green references provide no teaching or suggestion of an operator
selecting locations on a first display portion and then filtering the data by a control
means based on the operator’s selection to provide an output of the filtered data in a
second display portion displaying the test data in a display format according to the
selected location, no prima facie case of obviousness has been established by the
examiner. We do not find that the APA or the examiner’s allegation of “obvious duplication
of displayed data” provides for the deficiencies of the Green references.
The examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1-5, 7-18, 20-23, 25-29, 31-34, 36 and 37
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
