          Appeal No. 1999-2637                                                        
          Application 08/813,864                                                      


               An obviousness analysis commences with a review and                    
          consideration of all the pertinent evidence and arguments.                  
          See In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d at 1445, 24 USPQ2d at 1444 (“In                 
          reviewing the examiner’s decision on appeal, the Board must                 
          necessarily weigh all of the evidence and arguments.”).  With               
          these principles in mind, we commence review of the pertinent               
          evidence and arguments of Appellants and Examiner.                          
               The Appellants assert that Botterill provides no                       
          suggestion of any means for enabling shared addressing of                   
          multiple display sessions through the single address on the                 
          NPT, nor of any focus change command means for identifying a                
          focus change request from the NPT for a requested display                   
          session of the multiple display sessions sharing the single                 
          address on the NPT and for changing focus.  Brief at page 18,               
          lines 15-21.  Additionally, the Appellants state that the                   
          Marisetty prior art provides no suggestion of means for                     
          enabling shared addressing of multiple display sessions on the              
          NPT and focus change command means for identifying a focus                  
          change request from the NPT for a requested display session of              
          multiple display sessions sharing the single address on the                 


                                          7
