Appeal No. 1999-1604
Application 08/741,419
Swanson does not teach the claimed limitation that the widget
comprises a means that sets a resource to one or more
invocations.
The Examiner’s argument that Swanson teaches a graphical
resource editor which represents a widget, to modify the
resources of the widget is not cogent. The graphical
resource
editor modifies the resources of a separate application as
set forth above. The Xlib and Intrinsic functions are
independent of any widget to set resources in a widget.
Thus, Swanson does not teach or suggest the graphical
resource editor setting resources of its own widgets to
invocations as claimed.
The Examiner has failed to provide any teaching or
suggestion from the prior art to provide a widget setting its
own resource at runtime to one or more invocations of
arbitrary
functions. Therefore, the rejection of claims 1-24 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
B. Rejection of claim 25 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as
