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


          prima facie case of obviousness.  Accordingly, we reverse the               
          Examiner’s rejection of claim 1 as obvious over Botterill and               
          Marisetty.                                                                  
               Turning next to independent claim 17, we note that this                
          claim incorporates the limitations of “shared addressing of                 
          multiple display sessions through the single address on the                 
          NPT” and “only one of the multiple display sessions on the NPT              
          having the focus at any time.”  Having already determined that              
          neither Botterill nor Marisetty, alone or in combination,                   
          teaches these claimed limitations, we conclude, without                     
          further review, that the Examiner has failed to establish a                 
          prima facie case of obviousness with respect to independent                 
          claim 17.  Accordingly, we reverse the Examiner’s rejection of              
          claim 17 as obvious over Botterill and Marisetty.                           
               Reviewing now independent claim 7, we note that this                   
          claim also incorporates the limitations of “shared addressing               
          of multiple display sessions through the single address on the              
          NPT” and “only one of the multiple display sessions having the              
          focus at any time.”  We have already determined that neither                




                                          11
