Appeal No. 2006-2106
Application No. 09/837,632
Examiner concludes that the skilled artisan would have found it obvious to modify the
error message of Miksovsky with the style sheet format of Hind in order to
accommodate different client device display capabilities (answer, pages 4-5).
Appellants point out that Hind does not teach or suggest applying an error
message to a style sheet while Miksovsky lacks any motivation for modifying its error
message (brief, page 6). While repeating the portions of Hind’s abstract and col. 7,
relied on by the examiner, Appellants acknowledge the teachings of Hind with respect to
style sheets but further argue that no error message is applied to a style sheet in Hind
(brief, pages 6-8).
In response to Appellants’ arguments, the Examiner asserts that Hind discloses a
method of applying “a message to a style sheet” (abstract) which provides for properly
displaying the message on a variety of client devices (answer, page 5). However, the
Examiner finds that Hind identifies the message applied to a style sheet as “any
message,” which includes an “error message” (id.).
