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

            previous page without any action being taken.”  We find this                              
            argument unpersuasive.  A Cancel button is a stop button that                             
            terminates or interrupts an operation.3  We find that clearing                            
            all input data is inherent to termination of the data entry page                          
            operation and return to the previous page.                                                
                  Therefore, we will sustain the Examiner’s rejection under                           
            35 U.S.C. § 102.
