Appeal No. 2005-0985
Application No. 09/003,000
We thus sustain the rejection of claims 16, 17, 19, 20, and 22 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102. We also sustain the rejection of claim 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Lee. We
agree with the examiner that a message from the student’s to the teacher’s workstation
indicating which material the student is having problems with (Lee, ¶ bridging pages 12
and 13) is personalized information that includes “information about difficulties in
teaching the learner,” within the meaning of the claim. The message is personalized
with respect to the student, and conveys information about difficulties in teaching the
learner by identifying the material that is difficult for the student.
CONCLUSION
The rejection of claims 16, 17, 19, 20, and 22 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and the
rejection of claim 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 are affirmed.
