             Appeal 2007-0014                                                                                    
             Application 10/202,227                                                                              
             Kiyoujima.)  "Formatting" the cases in Koski is not the same as "modifying . . . the                
             selected document to correspond to the inputted features," because formatting has                   
             nothing to do with inputted features.  Koski only creates a new case when there is                  
             not a sufficiently close match within the case base and after there is a final                      
             resolution of the case (col. 4, ll. 8-12); it does not modify a case to create a new                
             case based on the inputted features.  The views in Koski have no relationship to the                
             input attributes.                                                                                   
                   Appellant argues that Kiyoujima also fails to teach or suggest that the                       
             selected document is modified to correspond to the inputted features to create an                   
             electronic document to be used in creating a new electronic document because                        
             Kiyoujima teaches that the selected document is modified based on a program                         
             (Br. 6).  The Examiner responds that Koski is relied upon for these limitations                     
             (Answer 8).  We find that Koski does not teach these limitations.                                   
                   For these reasons, the rejection of claim 1 is reversed.  Claims 2-5 and 11                   
             depend from claim 1 and the rejection of these claims must also be reversed.
