                Appeal 2007-0666                                                                               
                Application 09/738,992                                                                         
                      Absent a teaching or suggestion of transmitting, to each of a plurality                  
                of workstations, data representing handwritten annotations that were made to                   
                a paper document via at least two of the workstations, and displaying at least                 
                one of the handwritten annotations at each of the workstations, we are                         
                unpersuaded of a prima facie case of obviousness.  Therefore, we reverse the                   
                rejection of claims 1, 11, and 12, and of claims 2-6, 8-10, 13-17, and 19-22,                  
                which depend therefrom.                                                                        

                      The Examiner does not allege, let alone show, that the addition of                       
                Levine cures the aforementioned deficiency of Carleton, Tran, Simonoff,                        
                and Cass.  Therefore, we also reverse the rejection of these claims.                           

                                                 V. ORDER                                                      
                      In summary, the rejections of claims 1-22 under § 103(a) are reversed.                   

                                                REVERSED
