Patent 6,144,380
31. On January 8, 1997, the Examiner conducted an interview with
Appellants’ representative. On January 8, 1997, the Examiner entered an
Interview Summary into the record stating:
Claims discussed: 19, 20
Prior art discussed: Friend et al. (‘901) – shows toggling between
entered strokes and font-rendered translation.
Description of agreement or other comments: Applicant stressed that
the claimed “mark-up button” has the capability of completely
removing entered text, in any form,* as in claim 20. The Examiner
noted that claims presented so as to have such interpretation would
require significant new consideration after final but may overcome the
outstanding rejection.
* not positively recited, current claim 20 – text can be
alternate form.
32. On January 13, 1997, Appellants filed an After Final
Amendment (“the After Final Amendment”) responding to the Examiner's
Final Office Action.
33. On January 21, 1997, the Examiner entered an Advisory Action
(“Advisory Action”) denying entry of the After Final Amendment as they at
least in-part “raise new issues that would require further consideration
and/or search.”
34. On February 19, 1997, Appellants filed original Application
08/801,251, as a continuation (File Wrapper Continuing Procedure) of first
divisional Application 08/454,061, which was abandoned.
