Appeal No. 2004-2363 Page 2
Application No. 09/224,211
BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to customized user interfaces, for example, a
graphical user interface (GUI) (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:
Okada et al. (Okada) 5,956,029 Sept. 21, 1999
Moody 5,966,533 Oct. 12, 1999
Claims 7, 8, 35 and 36 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Moody in view of Okada.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and
the appellants regarding the above-noted rejection, we make reference to the answer
(mailed March 9, 2004) for the examiner's complete reasoning in support of the
rejection, and to the brief (filed January 16, 2004) and reply brief (filed May 10, 2004) for
the appellants' arguments thereagainst.
