Appeal 2007-0436 Application 10/125,620 in part, proximately to a GUI control or field of most recent user interaction; allowing at least some GUI interaction to occur while said popup is displayed; and automatically dismissing said popup when said message has been addressed. The Examiner relies on the following prior art references in rejecting the claims: Evans US 6,799,286 B1 Sep. 28, 2004 (filed Apr. 21, 2000) Grillo US 6,717,589 B1 Apr. 6, 2004 (filed Mar. 16, 2000) The Examiner rejected claims 1-2, 4-12, 14-18, 20-24, and 26-28 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a), as being unpatentable over Evans in view of Grillo. Rather than repeat the arguments here, we make reference to the Brief and the Answer for the respective positions of Appellant and the Examiner. We affirm. ISSUES The issue is whether Evans discloses an error message resulting from a combination of values and whether the teachings of Evans and Grillo may be properly combined to render the present claims obvious. 3Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Next
