appropriate icon” as required by this claim (page 4, line 10;
page 5, line 1; page 6, lines 1 through 3; page 8, lines 14
through 33; page 9, lines 13 through 32). In fact, Macrae
indicates (page 8, lines 7 through 11) that the product that
incorporates his invention is sold under the “trademark ‘WebTV,’”
and that “data representative of on-screen graphical icon, along
with an associated Internet site address, is transmitted as a
single data unit, packet, or group of packets in the VBI of a
television signal” (page 8, lines 30 through 33). Accordingly,
the anticipation rejection of claim 3 is sustained. The
anticipation rejection of claims 12, 16 and 22 is sustained
because appellants have chosen (brief, page 12) to let these
claims stand or fall as a group with claim 3.
DECISION
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through 30
under 35 U.S.C. § 102(a) is affirmed.
