Given the statement of motivation and Dwyer, we do not see how
one of ordinary skill in the art would arrive at the claimed
invention. The motivation is not supported by the record.
Nevertheless, despite the examiner's finding to the
contrary, we do not see how claim 10 distinguishes over Yuasa.
Yuasa allows transfer under user control of all or some of the
commands used to produce the command recall (macro) function.
Information for the commands must inherently be stored at least
during the time the user is creating the command recall (macro)
function from the commands; it is certainly stored somewhere so
it can be displayed on talker 302 for selection by the operator.
And, the macro commands in Yuasa are stored for subsequent
operation (col. 34, lines 13-16). Thus, we sustain the rejection
of claim 10 over Yuasa alone.
Claim 11
Claim 11 recites: "The method of claim 1, wherein
transferring commands further comprises: adding the macro data
corresponding to the transferred command to the macro file."
The examiner admits that Yuasa does not disclose this
limitation (FR7; EA8-9). The examiner finds that Dwyer teaches

that it would have been obvious to modify Yuasa so that the step
