Appeal No. 2003-0509 Page 3
Application No. 08/657,510
created, comprising:
first means for displaying classes from a first class package;
second means for displaying code for one of the classes, wherein
said first and second means display the selectable classes and the code
simultaneously;
third means for permitting the user to select a different class
package from among the available class packages for display of its
classes by said first means; and
fourth means for retreiving [sic] the selected class package over a
network if the selected class package is not stored locally.
Claims 1, 3, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 13-17 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
obvious over Ira Rodens ("Rodens"), Examining Symantec C++ 7.0, Dr. Dobb's Journal
(Aug. 1995) and U.S. Patent No. 5,715,432 ("Xu"). Claims 2, 4,2 12, 18, and 19 stand
rejected under § 103(a) as obvious over Rodens; Xu; and Example-then-Domain
Approach in an Object-Oriented Application Builder, IBM Technical Disclosure Bulletin
("IBM") vol. 37, no. 02B (Feb. 1994). Claim 5 stands rejected under § 103(a) as
obvious over Rodens; Xu; and U.S. Patent No. 5,187,788 ("Marmelstein").
2Although the examiner's statement of the rejection over Rodens, Xu, and IBM,
(Examiner's Answer at 7), omits claim 4, the claim depends from claim 2, which stands
rejected under Rodens, Xu, and IBM. Therefore, we treat claim 4 as also rejected
under Rodens, Xu, and IBM.
