Appeal No. 2003-2076 Page 2
Application No. 09/428,364
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to computer systems and, more particularly, to
an arrangement for marking computer system components and documentation to guide
a user in installing or setting up the computer system. The appellants' invention also
includes a method for marking computer system components and documentation to
guide system installation (specification, p. 1). A copy of the claims under appeal is set
forth in the appendix to the appellants' brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the examiner in rejecting the
appealed claims are:
Crane, Jr. (Crane) 5,661,631 Aug. 26, 1997
Scholder et al. (Scholder) 5,822,182 Oct. 13, 1998
Amiga Vision Authoring System manual, Commodore Electronics, Chapter 6
(Commodore)
Claims 1 to 20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over
Scholder in view of Crane and Commodore.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and
the appellants regarding the above-noted rejection, we make reference to the final
rejection (Paper No. 19, mailed July 17, 2002) and the answer (Paper No. 22, mailed
February 25, 2003) for the examiner's complete reasoning in support of the rejection,
