Application 09/248,736
window except that the Change Folder window reflects the
selections previously made (page 10, lines 4-6). The user makes
changes to the Change Folder window and those changes take effect
when the user clicks on the “OK” button (page 10, lines 6-7).
The changes are saved with a “Save” action (page 10, line 8).
The examiner argues that the above-discussed portions of the
appellants’ provisional application “do not describe that the
filter and the specified selection criteria are ‘transferred to a
storage medium’ nor ‘stored as a file’” (answer, page 12). The
examiner, however, has not established that “saving”, as that
term is used by the appellants, is limited to saving in the
manner argued by the examiner.
The above-discussed disclosures in the appellants’
provisional application that the Add Folder to Tree window
enables a user to provide filter criteria for determining which
tables are to be contained in a folder object, and that a user’s
changes to the Change Folder window, which is the same as the Add
Folder to Tree window except that the Change Folder window
reflects the selections previously made, take effect when the
user clicks on the “OK” button and are saved with a “Save”
action, indicate that the filter and specified selection criteria
are saved.
