Appeal No. 2003-1094 Application No. 09/131,063 THE REJECTIONS The claims stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as follows: claims 1-5, 7-38, 46 and 48-50 over Hayashi, and claim 6 over Hayashi in view of Nielsen. OPINION We affirm the rejection of claim 46 and reverse the rejections of the other claims. We need to address only the independent claims, i.e., claims 1, 23, 35, 38, 46 and 48.2 Claim 46 Hayashi discloses a method for generating a hypertext document, comprising authoring a hypertext document having a comment tag which is displayed in the same window with the associated document data (col. 23, lines 61-63; figure 29). Because, when the hypertext document is displayed, the comment tag appears in the same window as the document data, the comment tag reasonably can be considered to be embedded in the hypertext document. 2 The examiner does not rely upon Nielsen for any disclosure that remedies the deficiency in Hayashi as to independent claim 1 from which claim 6 indirectly depends. 3Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
