Appeal No. 2002-1971 Application 09/020,668 argued that there is no evidence asserted by the examiner as to the motivation to combine the references (Br18). The examiner responds with the same reasoning as applied to claim 18 (EA13). The rejection does not address the limitations of "the first and second information elements associated with a common concept in the body of knowledge" and "highlighting the first information element displayed in the first lens in response to the user selection of the second information element in the second lens." The examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of obviousness. We do not see how the limitations can be met by the references. The rejection of claim 20 is reversed. Group C(3): claims 89 and 94 Rowe and Acrobat Reader do not cure the deficiencies of Lucas with respect to the rejection of claim 65. Accordingly, the rejection of claims 89 and 94 is reversed. Group D: claim 92 WordPerfect does not cure the deficiencies of Lucas with respect to the rejection of claim 65. Accordingly, the rejection of claim 92 is reversed. - 17 -Page: Previous 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
