                Appeal 2007-0761                                                                              
                Application 09/907,610                                                                        
                rejection based on both Kennelly and Sameth, with due recitation of the                       
                motivation to combine the references.                                                         

                      The issue of non-functional descriptive material was not raised by the                  
                Appellants or the Examiner, and is not necessary for a resolution of the issue                
                in this appeal.  However, we note that the nature of the icons indicating the                 
                selected language is highly suggestive of that doctrine of law.                               


                                         CONCLUSION OF LAW                                                    
                      Based on the findings of facts and analysis above, we conclude that                     
                the Examiner did not err in rejecting claims 1 to 24.  The rejection of those                 
                claims is affirmed, under their respective statutory bases.                                   


                                                 DECISION                                                     
                      The Examiner's rejection of claims 1 to 24 is Affirmed.                                 
                      No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with                      
                this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
