Appeal No. 2004-0324
Application 09/387,350
on that page, as an activation of predefined textual information
stored in the database to be automatically inserted into a text
entry field as recited broadly in independent claim 17 on appeal
is misplaced since we do not agree with the examiner's views that
the entire subject matter of the claims on appeal is met.
Namely, there appears to be no ability taught in Dell for the
user to enter any text information into the fields shown in the
drop down menu box relied upon by the examiner in Dell. Thus,
without an ability of the user to enter information into the text
entry field, since there is no true text entry field that allows
the user to enter text, the feature at the end of independent
claim 17 cannot be met of the selectability of the given state
"prior to entry by the user of text into said text entry field."
Corresponding features recited in independent claim 1 on appeal
upon the selection of a text entry field, plus selection of the
one of the entries of the options shown in the displayed text
options, the reference to Dell does not allow any operations to
occur "prior to the user inputting text into said text entry
field." The identical feature of independent claim 1 is also
recited in independent claim 9 on appeal.
