          Appeal No. 1999-2379                                                        
          Application 08/716,061                                                      

          means" is met by the monitor screen 10 of the controller,                   
          described at column 4, lines 24-31 (FR7 ¶ 5a).  This finding                
          is correct.                                                                 
               Appellant argues that the Examiner "further ignored                    
          Appellant's feature of displaying non-recorded commercial                   
          material at both the send list displaying means and record                  
          list displaying means as recited in claims 3, 9, 15, 22"                    
          (Br14).                                                                     
               The Examiner's rationale does not cover the claim                      
          language of "information that represents the non-recorded                   
          commercial material is displayed on said record list                        
          displaying means and said send list displaying means"                       
          (claims 3, 9; similar language in claims 15 and 22).  In                    
          particular, the Examiner has provided no reason why it would                
          have been obvious to display the information representing                   
          non-recorded commercial material on the send list displaying                
          means.  Thus, the Examiner has failed to establish a prima                  
          facie case of obviousness with respect to claims 3, 9, 15,                  
          and 22.  The rejection of claims 3, 9, 15, and 22 is                        
          reversed.                                                                   
                                    CONCLUSION                                        

                                       - 15 -
