Appeal No. 2006-0837
Application No. 10/081,446
Ben-Natan patent teaches an improved method for displaying error messages in a computer
system (Summary of Invention). We find that the nature of the problem to be solved provides
more than sufficient motivation to combine the prior art references.
Therefore, we will sustain the Examiner’s rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
II. Whether the Rejection of Claims 26-33 Under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is proper?
It is our view, after consideration of the record before us, that the evidence relied upon
and the level of skill in the particular art would have suggested to one of ordinary skill in the art
the invention as set forth in claims 26-33. Accordingly, we affirm.
With respect to claims 26-33, Appellant merely references the arguments made with
respect to claim 16. Therefore these claims stand or fall with claim 16, and we will sustain the
Examiner’s rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
III. Whether the Rejection of Claims 36-432 Under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is proper?
It is our view, after consideration of the record before us, that the evidence relied upon
and the level of skill in the particular art would have suggested to one of ordinary skill in the art
the invention as set forth in claims 36-43. Accordingly, we affirm.
2 We note that Appellants reference claims 36-45 at pages 6 of the brief. However, we treat this
as a typographical error as the next section at page 7 of the brief also includes claims 44-45.
