            Appeal No. 2004-2271                                                                      
            Application No. 09/731,650                                                                

                                             Invention                                                
                  Appellants’ invention relates to a graphical user interface                         
            for data entry of a plurality of fields of information in a                               
            computer system such as a web browser interface.  A JAVA script                           
            is employed to produce a form-like user interface in which a user                         
            may enter a group of information in fields shown in a graphical                           
            user interface window display area.  The graphical user interface                         
            is provided with a NEXT button and a PREVIOUS button, which allow                         
            the user to indicate that he or she has more data to enter than                           
            can be entered in the currently available view of the form in the                         
            graphical user interface window display area.  Appellants’                                
            specification at page 11, lines 2-9.                                                      

                  Claim 11 is representative of the claimed invention and is                          
            reproduced as follows:                                                                    
                  11.  A user display for entering a plurality of input data                          
            on a networked client computer system, said computer system                               
            having a processor suitable for controlling a user display and                            
            receiving input from a user input device, a user selection                                
            device, and a network interface, said user display comprising:                            
                  a quantity of rows of user input fields displayed in a                              
            graphical user display area, said quantity of rows of input                               
            fields being determined by a script received via said network                             
            interface and being equal to a number of rows which can be                                
            displayed in display area without causing partial rows or partial                         
            fields to be displayed;                                                                   
                  a “NEXT” button operable by said user selection device; and                         

                                                  2
