Appeal No. 2000-0396
Application No. 08/527,886
enabling only for claims 1 through 23 "limited to displaying in
two exclusive predetermined screen portions." As we have
determined, supra, that claims 60 through 65, 67 through 69, and
73 are limited to displaying in two separate predetermined screen
portions, for which the examiner admits the specification is
enabling, claims 60 through 65, 67 through 69, and 73 must also
be enabled by the specification. Additionally, as we have
determined, supra, that claims 48 through 59, 66, and 70 through
72 claim the same invention as that of claim 6, which the
examiner includes in the group of claims that are enabled by the
specification, we likewise find enablement for these claims.
Hence, we cannot sustain the enablement rejection of claims 48
through 73.
The new matter rejection of claims 48 through 73 must fall
for substantially the same reasons as above. Specifically, since
claims 48 through 73 claim the same invention as that disclosed
in the original patent, they clearly have not added new matter.
Accordingly, we cannot sustain the new matter rejection of claims
48 through 73.
