Appeal No. 2002-1785
Application No. 09/239,338 Page 9
In sum, because Christ does not address the issues of:
associating an individuals signature transmission with the
individual's biographical information including the individual's
expertise; nor of “responsive to a user request for employees
having a given expertise, displaying a store map on an
informational kiosk display wherein a representation of the
location of the employees having the given expertise is shown
therein”, we do not agree with the examiner that teachings of
Christ would have suggested the claimed associating and
displaying limitations. We therefore find that the examiner has
failed to establish a prima facie case of obviousness of claim 1.
Accordingly, the rejection of claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is
reversed. In addition, because Christ does not teach or suggest
the associating and displaying limitations of independent claims
2, 7, and 15, the rejection of claims 2, 7, and 15, along with
claims 3-6, 8-14, and 16-19, which depend therefrom, under 35
U.S.C. § 103(a), is reversed.
