                Appeal 2007-1318                                                                             
                Application 09/726,779                                                                       
                with respect to claim 1.  Claims 16-18, 20-26, 29-31, 33-39, and 42-45                       
                depend from one of claims 14, 27, and 40, and we conclude that the                           
                Examiner erred in rejecting these claims as being anticipated by Blowers for                 
                the same reasons discussed with respect to claims 14, 27, and 40.                            
                      Claim 53 recites, similarly to claim 1, automatically generating a                     
                graphical user interface for the program "wherein the graphical user                         
                interface of the program is independent of the prototyping environment user                  
                interface."  As discussed with respect to claim 1, Blowers does not teach or                 
                suggest this limitation.  Therefore, we agree that the Examiner erred in                     
                rejecting claim 53 as being anticipated by Blowers.  Claim 54 depends from                   
                claim 53, and we conclude that the Examiner erred in rejecting claim 54 as                   
                being anticipated by Blowers for the same reasons discussed with respect to                  
                claim 53.                                                                                    
                      Claim 55 recites, similarly to claim 1, automatically generating a                     
                program "wherein program execution of the program is independent of                          
                execution of the development environment."  As discussed with respect to                     
                claim 1, Blowers does not teach or suggest this limitation.  Therefore, we                   
                agree that the Examiner erred in rejecting claim 55 as being anticipated by                  
                Blowers.                                                                                     
                      Claims 49 and 52, which depend from claims 48 and 51 respectively,                     
                recite "wherein execution of the second program instructions is independent                  
                of execution of" the development environment (or first program instruction                   
                in the case of claim 52).  As discussed with respect to claim 1, Blowers does                
                not teach or suggest this limitation.  Therefore, we conclude that the                       
                Examiner erred in rejecting claims 49 and 52 as being anticipated by                         
                Blowers.                                                                                     

                                                     10
