Appeal No. 1998-2003
Application No. 08/440,246
structures/features on the maps (i.e., the features for which Steiner
discloses needing to sort easily), and to activate the hypertext
links with user entry 38. Again, one should not underestimate the
level of the skilled artisan. See id.
Last, appellant argues (Brief, page 8) that the zoom keys of
Steiner differ in structure and function because of the relationship
to the hyperlinks. However, the addition of hyperlinks to Steiner in
light of Adobe would necessarily require modification to Steiner's
zoom keys to make them compatible with the additional features.
Accordingly, we find appellant's arguments to be unpersuasive, and we
will affirm the rejection of claims 1, 4, 5, and 8.
CONCLUSION
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1, 4, 5, and 8
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.
