Accordingly, we find that this passage of claim 1 to be met by
Glaser. In addition, we note that claim 1 does not recite that
after the scrolling terminates, that the ascertaining step occurs
automatically or immediately. Thus, upon the participant then
moving the mouse over the "Manufacture 40%" line two of the
displayed document, and pressing down the mouse button, the
portion of the document being displayed ("Manufacture 40%") will
be ascertained and the position of the mouse cursor on the
whiteboard will be sent to the other participants for display of
an arrowhead and line on their computer displays. Thus, we find
that the ascertaining clause of claim 1 is met by Glaser as
advanced by the examiner (answer, page 4, lines 4-6). However,
upon pressing down the mouse over the "Manufacture 40%" of the
display, the coordinates will be sent to the other participants
and an arrowhead and line will be displayed on their computers.
However, since the display has not changed, only the addition of
the arrowhead and connecting line, it cannot be said the Glaser
discloses that "after said ascertainment, transmitting to other
computers data which enables them to display said part of the
document" as required by claim 1, since no displaying of part of
the document occurs.
