Appeal No. 2002-1868
Application 09/059,033
for a statement of the examiner's rejection, and to the brief
(Paper No. 19) (pages referred to as "Br__") for a statement of
appellant's arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
Claims 1-3 and 12-14
The examiner finds that Yuasa teaches a method of producing
a macro file for use in an application program, but does not
disclose "transferring under user control at least one of the
stored user commands from the log file to the macro file" (FR3).
The examiner finds that Dwyer discloses this limitation because
each icon 30 launches a set of linked macro functions that
initializes the modem, controls data transfer, formats the
received image data, etc. (FR3). The examiner further finds
(FR3) that the combination of Yuasa and Dryer does not disclose
"the log file maintaining a real time sequential history of each
of said plurality of user commands." The examiner finds that
Clark discloses the limitation for admission control in a
communications network, referring to the abstract and column 2,
lines 5-59, and column 17, lines 7-50 (FR3). The examiner
concludes that it would have been obvious to modify Yuasa to
apply transfer of user commands to a macro file as taught by
Dwyer and to add a log file maintaining a real time sequential
history as taught by Clark because "the system would provide the
better reliable tool to end users by preformat [sic] prior
