Appeal No. 2000-1913
Application 08/753,081
creating a bitmap image of said non-rectangular object;
loading said bitmap image of the non-rectangular object in a
standard window generated by said program application, said
standard window having a size border, a rectangular client, a
menu, a title bar, etc.;
causing said bitmap image of the non-rectangular object to
be controllable by said program application; and
removing areas of said standard window that are not part of
said bitmap image of said non-rectangular object.
The following reference is relied on by the examiner:
Bartok 5,737,553 Apr. 7, 1998
(filing date July 14, 1995)
Claims 1-19 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As
evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies upon Bartok alone.
Rather than repeat the positions of the appellants and the
examiner, reference is made to the brief and reply brief as well
as the answer.
OPINION
Because we find ourselves in agreement with appellants'
observations as to the teachings and suggestions in Bartok as
expressed in the brief and reply brief, we reverse the rejection
of claims 1-19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
