a plurality of menus required by a user to . . . handle routine
setup parameters for different types of systems and software
application” (emphasis added). See pages 30 and 31 of
Appellants’ brief. The Examiner argues that Cowgill clearly
recites a test creation environment including a graphic user
interface that enables users to create test cases that are stored
into the system for testing a UUT. The Examiner points to col.
12, line 12 to col. 13, line 27 of Cowgill.
Upon our review of Cowgill, we find that Cowgill teaches in
col. 12, lines 22 through 28, a main interface driver which is
provided to serve as an interface between the host controller and
a MMI server. Furthermore, Cowgill specifies at col. 12, lines
32 and 33, that the MMI refers to a generic interface to a UUT.
We agree with Appellants that Cowgill specifically discloses a
generic interface rather than a menu bar which contains a
plurality of menus required by the user to log on a system, log
off a system and handle routine setup parameters for different
types of software and software applications as recited in
Appellants’ claim 15. Therefore, we will not sustain the
Examiner’s rejection of claims 15 through 19 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103.
