Appeal No. 2002-2053
Application No. 09/329,135 Page 10
met by Mastering Windows because the reference provides for
changing the color of text and background, which will improve
color contact.
From all of the above, we find that the examiner has set
forth a prima facie case of anticipation of independent claim 21,
which has not been successfully rebutted by appellants.
Accordingly, the rejection of claim 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)
is affirmed. As claims 1, 2, 8, 22, 28, 38-41, and 47 fall with
independent claim 21 (brief, page 3), the rejection of claims 1,
2, 8, 22, 28, 38-41, and 47 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is affirmed.
We turn next to the rejection of claims 9, 11, 19, 29, 31,
36, 48-50, 52, and 60 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being
anticipated by Netscape. We turn to independent claim 29. The
examiner's position can be found on page 4 of the final
rejection. Appellants assert (brief, page 4) that Netscape
simply describes a mechanism for identifying custom colors, and
that (brief, page 5) “[t]here is no discussion whatsoever about
problem color combinations, comparing a current combination
against one or more problem color combinations, or selecting and
applying a preferred color combination when a current color
combination matches a problem color combination.”
