             Appeal No.  2004-0975                                                                                    
             Application No. 09/793,595                                                                               

                    Rather than repeat the positions of the appellant and the examiner,                               
             reference is made to the brief and reply brief for the appellant’s positions,                            
             and to the answer for the examiner’s positions.                                                          
                                                         OPINION                                                      
                    For the reasons generally set forth by appellant in the brief and reply                           
             brief, we reverse each of the separately stated rejections under 35 U.S.C. §                             
             103 of the claims on appeal.                                                                             
                    In relying upon Cortopassi at page 4 of the answer, the examiner                                  
             recognizes that this reference does not explicitly teach the feature of each                             
             of the independent claims 11, 19 and 23 of sending less than all of the                                  
             display output from the first computer to the portable computer.  Our own                                
             review of this lengthy reference leads us to the same conclusion.  The                                   
             examiner’s position even recognizes this statement at column 1, lines 52-                                
             54 that “[o]nce  connected, the wireless interface device, which includes a                              
             display, takes control of the host computer and mirrors whatever is being                                
             displayed on the host computer on its display.”  This statement is                                       
             essentially repeated at column 54, lines 24-26, where it is stated that “[a]s                            
             mentioned above, the display 113C on the wireless interface device 100                                   
                                                         -3-
