          Appeal No. 2002-0553                                                        
          Application No. 09/391,782                                                  


          reason that the reference is not seen to include the particular             
          window buttons set forth therein.                                           


               This panel of the Board also sustains the rejection of                 
          claims 14 through 17 based upon our above findings relative to              
          Briffe. Thus, appellants’ argument (brief, page 7) that the                 
          Briffe patent fails to teach both elements, i.e., a size                    
          configurable window and a map, fails to convince us that the                
          rejection is not sound.                                                     


               We additionally sustain the rejection of claim 18.  Contrary           
          to the view of appellants (brief, page 7), the WPT LIST of Fig.             
          16 of Briffe includes a control button that adjusts a size                  
          characteristic of the list.                                                 


               In summary, this panel of the board has sustained the                  
          rejection of claims 2, 3, 8, and 14 through 18, but has not                 
          sustained the rejection of claims 4, 5, 6, and 13.
