               Appeal 2007-2514                                                                           
               Application 10/034,255                                                                     

                     In addition, the Examiner (Answer 5) relies upon Outlook 97 for a                    
               suggestion of using a hyperlink to a current version of a document                         
               associated with the hyperlink.  However, Outlook 97 merely shows opening                   
               an email message in another window.  We find no suggestion to include a                    
               hyperlink with each entry of a reusable list to link to the current version of             
               the document associated with the hyperlink.  Thus, the Examiner has not                    
               established a prima facie case of obviousness for each of independent claims               
               1, 8, 15, 23, and 24, nor for their dependents, claims 2 through 7, 9 through              
               14, 16 through 22, and 25.  Consequently, we cannot sustain the obviousness                
               rejection of claims 1 through 25.                                                          

                                                ORDER                                                     
                     The decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1 through 25 under                     
               35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, and under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
