Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A method for clarifying a document, comprising:
retrieving a document including a document component
having an attribute, wherein the attribute is explicitly
specified in the document;
displaying the document;
loading a set of user preferences; and
in response to activation of a clarification control,
modifying the attribute to clarify display of the document
based on the set of user preferences to form a clarified
document.
The examiner relies on the following reference:
Internet Explorer 5 (IE) released 1998.
Additionally, the examiner relies on admitted prior art (APA), at pages 1-2 of the
instant specification and on a “conventional computer system.”
Claims 1-5, 11-17, and 22-25 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §103. As evidence
of obviousness, the examiner offers APA in view of IE with regard to claims 1-5, 11-17,
22, 23, and 25, while relying on a “conventional computer system” (answer-page 10) in
view of IE with regard to claim 24.
Reference is made to the briefs and answer for the respective positions of
appellants and the examiner.
