Appeal 2007-0493
Application 10/289,967
Patent 6,144,380
39. Appellants’ amendments and/or arguments (see below)
addressed at least the following limitations of Appellants’ amended
claim 19:
(A) hiding all handwriting and associated text written with said
pointer on the current page when the mark-up button is
re-selected.
Limitation (A) was added to claim 19 by the Preliminary Amendment.
40. In the Preliminary Amendment at page 4, Appellants reiterated
and added to arguments made in the First Amendment (August 5, 1996).
In-part Appellants re-argued and added the following as to the amended
claims:
Further, the patent to Friend et al. fails to show or suggest
that display of handwriting is contingent upon selection
of a mark-up button. The Friend et al. system continues
to display handwriting [whether as user script or font
text] from the very time it is entered, regardless of any
selection of a mark-up button.
The argument directly above addressed Finding of Fact 27 limitation (1)
found in Appellants’ original claim 19, and Finding of Fact 39 limitation (A)
found in Appellants’ amended claim 19.
41. On June 14, 2000, a Notice of Allowability was mailed which
stated that pending claims 19 and 21-23 were allowed.
42. Consistent with Office practice, application claims 19 and
21-23 were renumbered as patent claims 1-4, respectively, in the course of
preparing the original application for issue.
