            Appeal No. 2001-2241                                                                              
            Application No. 08/928,555                                                                        


            the individual teachings.  The examiner maintains that claims 15-38 introduce no                  
            limitations of significance in light of the discussion.  (See answer at page 5.)  We              
            assume that this is why the examiner has never addressed these claims.  We find that              
            the examiner has not established a prima facie case of obviousness, and we cannot                 
            sustain the rejection of independent claims 6, 15, 20, 27, 33, and 34 and dependent               
            claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Microsoft or Wright in view of Bertram.                         
                                               CONCLUSION                                                     
                   To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims1-5 and 10-14  under            
            35 U.S.C. § 102 over Microsoft and Wright is reversed, the decision of the examiner to            
            reject claims 6-9 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Microsoft in view of Bertram is reversed,            














            and the decision of the examiner to reject claims 6-9 and 15-38 under 35 U.S.C. § 103             
            over Wright in view of Bertram is reversed.                                                       

                                                      9
