                Appeal 2007-0772                                                                                                         
                Application 09/788,132                                                                                                   
                        Appellants argue these claims as a group, and we look to representative                                          
                claim 4.  Appellants repeat the arguments made against the previous rejection,                                           
                which are equally unpersuasive here.  Moreover, Fletcher teaches a pulldown menu                                         
                for selecting a type of loan analysis (Finding of Fact 5).  Appellants have not                                          
                shown that the Examiner erred in concluding that                                                                         
                                        It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill                                              
                                in the art at the time the invention was made to have                                                    
                                modified the automated loss mitigation loan workout

                                combination, to provide a menu of predefined analysis                                                    
                                types for selection among, as disclosed by Fletcher, to                                                  
                                utilize a common and standard software feature to create                                                 
                                an easier to utilize graphic user interface.                                                             
                (Answer 10).                                                                                                             

                                                         CONCLUSIONS                                                                     
                        We conclude that Appellants have not shown that the Examiner erred in                                            
                rejecting claims 1-13 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
