                Appeal 2007-1318                                                                             
                Application 09/726,779                                                                       
                Examiner erred in rejecting claims 48, 50, and 51 as being anticipated by                    
                Blowers.                                                                                     
                      Regarding the obviousness rejections, we note that claims 6, 19, and                   
                32 depend from claims 1, 14, and 27 respectively.  As discussed with respect                 
                to claims 1, 14, and 27, we agree with Appellants that Blowers does not                      
                teach or suggest the limitations of automatically generating a program that                  
                "is operable to execute independently of" a prototyping application and                      
                automatically generating a graphical user interface for the program with a                   
                graphical user interface element that "is operable to receive user input                     
                independently of" the prototyping application, as claimed.  Therefore, we                    
                conclude that the Examiner erred in rejecting claims 6, 19, and 32 as being                  
                obvious over Blowers.                                                                        

                                         CONCLUSION OF LAW                                                   
                      Based on the findings of facts and analysis above, we conclude that:                   
                      (1)  The Examiner erred in rejecting claims 1, 3-5, 7-14, 16-18, 20-27,                
                29-31, 33-40, 42-47, 49, and 52-59 for anticipation under 35 U.S.C.                          
                § 102(e).                                                                                    
                      (2)  The Examiner did not err in rejecting claims 48, 50, and 51 for                   
                anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e).                                                       
                      (3)  The Examiner erred in rejecting claims 6, 19, and 32 for                          
                obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
