          Appeal No. 2004-0717                                                               
          Application No. 10/099,605                                      Page 11            

          carrying out assigned functions, we based that Goldberg insert                     
          the limitation of claims 10.  According, the rejection of claim                    
          10 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is affirmed.  As claims 11-13 and 20                   
          fell with claim 10, the rejection of claims 11-13 and 20 under 35                  
          U.S.C. § 103(a) is affirmed.                                                       
                Turning next to claim 14-18 and 20, we began with claim 14.                  
          At the outset, we find Goldberg teaches all the elements of the                    
          claim.  The additional limitation of “a computing device . . .                     
          coupled to the scanning device”, is shown as a part of the                         
          overall system in Goldberg (Fig. 1, elements 10 and 20).                           
          Accordingly, the rejection of claim 14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)                    
          as obvious in view of Goldberg is affirmed.  As claims 15-18 and                   
          20 fall with claim 14 (brief, page 5) the rejection of claims 15-                  
          18 and 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is affirmed.                                    
                Turning to reference to our findings, supra, with respect to                 
          claim 1.  In addition, next to claim 15, we cannot sustain the                     
          rejection of the examiner.  Claim 15 recites “means for modifying                  
          the means for indicating a select OCR package,” although Goldberg                  
          inherently provides for some indication of the new OCR package,                    
          Goldberg does not teach this method of indication can be changed                   
          in any way.  Accordingly, the rejection of claim 15 under 35                       
          U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious in view of Goldberg is reversed.
