conclude that the
examiner has not made out a prima facie case in rejecting the
claim. We find that the examiner does not explain what
constitutes the claimed different uses of the computer
solutions in Dworkin and how the selection of a use provides a
display of the solution subset for that use. If the examiner
considers various vendors (Figure 1) as the various users,
then the
selection of a vendor displays a menu which again requires an
input from the user. Without the input from the user,
Dworkin’s
software program does not proceed further. We are at a loss
to
understand how the examiner meets the claimed limitation of
“means, responsive to user selection of one or more of said
uses for identifying a subset of said computer solutions
corresponding to the selected uses.” We agree with
