Appeal No. 1996-3706
Application 07/854,921
As to Appellant's assertion that there is no
disclosure of independent and dependent variables or
relationships between variables, the Examiner points to
Conrad as showing data being displayed in many different13
forms, such as graphs and charts. The Examiner then alleges
that graphs and charts are commonly known to display
relationships between independent and dependent variables. In
addition, in the Supplemental Examiner's Answer the Examiner 14
points to Conrad and generally notes that "data events15
touched by a cursor are visualized in different formats at the
same time in multiple displays of the screen" and "the user
positions cursor 40 over a region of dots on data field 122 to
change data elements."
