Appeal No. 2002-1258
Application No. 09/148,551
Israni indicating a user input means or anything responsive to that user input means.
Column 5, lines 18-28, of Israni, to which the examiner referred, has nothing
whatsoever to do with Figure 11A. Moreover, that cited section of the Israni
specification is directed to a navigation software program having subprograms including
a route calculation function, a map display function and a maneuver generation
function. Again, there is nothing therein directed to two display areas, user input means
or a means responsive to a user input means, and the examiner has not explained how
these cited portions of Israni are to be applied against the instant claim language.
While the examiner gives a more lengthy “explanation” at pages 8-9 of the answer, in
response to appellant’s arguments, this time also referring to column 1, lines 62-67,
column 7, lines 37-67, column 9, lines 3-49, and Figure 2 of Israni, the examiner still
never points out how the disclosure of Israni corresponds to the instant claimed
elements. That is, the examiner never specifically points to two first and second display
areas for presentation of graphical representations of geographic information and
textual geographic information, respectively, to a user input means, and to a means
responsive to the user input means to control the information presented by the first and
second display areas.
