          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 -
