Appeal No. 2006-2208
Application No. 10/782,265
(col. 6, lines 31-43). Yen further describes displaying a list of content related to a
selected word when a primary word is selected by allowing the user to select a
particular crosslinked information element such as an Internet service (col. 6, lines 44-
52) when the cross linked information is represented as hypertext links displayed in the
closed caption text (col. 11, lines 4-16).
In view of the discussion above, we find that as all the elements recited in
claim 1 are taught in the reference, Yen anticipates the claimed subject matter.
Accordingly, claim 1 is unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 102.
In addition to reversing the Examiner’s decision with
respect to the 35 U.S.C. § 103, this decision contains a new
ground of rejection pursuant to 37 CFR § 41.50(b). 37 CFR
§ 41.50(b) provides “[a] new ground of rejection pursuant to this
paragraph shall not be considered final for judicial review.”
37 CFR § 41.50(b) also provides that the appellant, WITHIN
TWO MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF THE DECISION, must exercise one of
the following two options with respect to the new ground of
rejection to avoid termination of the appeal as to the rejected
claims:
(1) Reopen prosecution. Submit an appropriate
amendment of the claims so rejected or new evidence relating to
the claims so rejected, or both, and have the matter reconsidered
