`
`INTER VIE W SUMMARY
`
`Applicants’ attorneys thank Examiner Stephen G. Sherman for his comments during
`
`an in person interview on July 26, 2010 with Robert Beyers and Cyndi Wheeler. In the
`
`interview, the Examiner agreed that amendments proposed by the Applicant’s representatives
`
`would overcome the current rejections. In particular, the Examiner agreed that amending
`
`claim 2 to recite “enlarging and translating the shuctured electronic document so that the first
`
`box is substantially centered on the touch screen display” (as well as the other corresponding
`
`independent claims), and amending claim 54 to recite “a displayed window of an application,
`
`the displayed window being in filll view on the touch screen display,” would overcome the
`
`current rejections and require a new search.
`
`The claims have been amended accordingly.
`
`AMENDMENTS T0 CLAIMS
`
`Claims 1-2, 17, 34, and 50-54 have been amended.
`
`Claims 60-63 have been added. Independent claims 61-63 are method, graphical user
`
`interface and computer readable storage medium claims, respectively, that include limitations
`
`analogous to the limitations in independent method claim 54 as amended.

`
`Support for the amendments can be found in at least paragraphs [0092]-[0097],
`
`[0116]-[0123] and [0126]-[0129], and Figures 5A-5C and 5G of the application as filed. No
`
`new matter has been added.
`
`With respect to all amendments, Applicants have not dedicated or abandoned any
`
`unclaimed subject matter. Moreover, Applicants have not acquiesced to any
`characterizations ofthe invention, nor any rejections or objections ofthe claims, made by the
`Examiner.
`
`After entry of this amendment, the pending claims are: claims 1-63.
`
`REMARKS CONCERNING REJECTIONS UNDER 35 US. C. 101
`
`Rejection of claim 52 under 35 U.S.C. 101 directed to non-statutory subject
`A.
`matter.
`
`The Examiner rejected claim 52 as directed to non-statutory subject matter. In
`
`particular, the Examiner requested the addition a limitation to claim 52 clarifying that the
`
`“computer readable storage medium” is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium.
`
`Applicant believes that claim 52, which claims a computer-program product
`
`comprising “a computer readable Egg medium” is directed towards statutory subject
`
`matter. Nonetheless, for the purposes of advancing prosecution, the Applicant has amended
`
`claim 52 to recite “a non-transitory computer readable storage medium,” as requested by the
`
`Examiner. As such, the Applicant respectfiilly requests that the Examiner withdraw the
`
`rejection of claim 52 under 35 U.S.C. 101.
`
`REM4RKS CONCERNHVG REJECTIONS UNDER 35 U.S.C. 102(e)
`
`B.
`
`Rejection of claims 54-59 under 35 U.S.C. 102(e) as anticipated by Hofmeister
`
`(US 2006/284852).
`
`As amended, claim 54 requires:
`
`displaying a user interface on the touch screen display, wherein the user
`interface includes:
`
`21 displayed window of an application, the displayed window being
`in full view on the touch screen display, and
`one or more partially hidden windows of the application;
`while displaying the displayed window and the one or more partially
`hidden windows, detecting a gesture on the touch screen display; and,
`in response to detecting the gesture,
`moving the displayed window partially or fully off the touch screen display,
`and
`
`moving a first partially hidden window into full View on the touch screen
`display. (Emphasis added)

`
`

`
`Hofrneister does not teach or suggest concurrently displaying a displayed window “in full
`
`View on the touch screen display” and one or more partially hidden windows of the
`
`application, as required by amended claim 54. As noted in the Interview Summary, the
`
`Examiner agreed that claim 54, as amended, overcomes the present rejection under 35 U.S.C.
`
`102. Thus, claim 1 and the claims that depend therefrom (namely claims 55-60) are
`
`A
`
`patentable over Hofmeister.
`
`Applicants respectfully request that these rejections be withdrawn.
`
`Additionally, new independent claims 61-63 include analogous limitations to claim
`
`54. Thus, claims 61-63 are also patentable over Hofrneister for similar reasons.
`
`REMARKS CONCERNING REJECTIONS UNDER 35 US. C. 103
`
`To establish prima facie obviousness of a claimed invention, all the claim elements
`
`must be taught or suggested by the prior art. In re Royka, 490 F.2d 981, 180 USPQ 580
`
`(CCPA 1974). Indeed, the Board of Patent Appeal and Interferences recently confirmed that
`
`a proper obviousness determination requires an Examiner to make "a searching comparison
`
`of the claimed invention - including all its limitations - with the teaching of the prior art." See
`
`In re Wada and Murphy, Appeal 2007-3733, citing In re Ochiai, 71 F.3d 1565, 1572 (Fed.
`
`Cir. 1995) (emphasis in original). Finding all the claim elements in the prior art is necessary,
`
`but not sufficient. KS'R Intern. Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 127 S.Ct. 1727, 1741 (2007) ("a patent
`
`composed of several elements is not proved obvious merely by demonstrating that each of its
`
`elements was, independently, known in the prior art"). "All words in a claim must be
`
`considered in judging the patentability of that claim against the prior art." In re Wilson, 424
`
`F.2d 1382, 1385, 165 USPQ 494, 496 (CCPA 1970).
`
`C.
`
`Rejection of claims 1-26, 34-39 and 50-53 under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as unpatentable
`by Gillespie et al. (WO 02/093542) in view of Funakami et al. (WO 2005/106684)
`
`As amended, claim 2 requires:
`
`determining a first box in the plurality of boxes at the
`location of the first gesture; and
`
`enlarging and translating the structured electronic
`document so that the first box is substantially centered on
`the touch screen display.

`
`

`
`Gillespie and Funakami do not, whether taken separately or together, teach or suggest
`
`determining a first box at the location of a first gesture and “enlarging and translating the
`
`structured electronic document so that the first box is substantially centered” on a touch
`
`screen display, as required by amended claim 2. As noted in the Interview Summary, the
`
`Examiner agreed that claim 2, as amended, overcomes the present rejection under 35 U.S.C.
`
`103. Thus, claim 2 and the claims that depend therefrom (namely claims 3-49) are patentable
`
`over Gillespie and Funakami.
`
`Additionally, independent claims 1 and 50-53, as amended, include analogous
`
`limitations to claim 2. Thus, claims 1 and 50-53 are also patentable over Gillespie and
`Funakami for similar reasons.
`
`Applicants respectfully request that these rejections be withdrawn.
`
`D.
`
`Rejection of claims 27-33 under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over
`Gillespie et, al. in view of Funakami et al. and further in view of Lai et al. (US
`2005/0285880).
`
`Claims 27-33 depend from claim 2 and therefore include all of the limitations of
`
`amended claim 2. As discussed in Section C above, Gillespie and Funakami do not teach at
`
`least one limitation of amended claim 2. Lai also fails to teach this claim limitation. Because
`
`Gillespie, Funakami and Lai, whether taken separately or together fail to teach at least one
`
`claim limitation of claim 2, there is no prima facie case of obviousness for claim 2 and
`
`associated dependent claims 27-33. As such, Applicants respectfully request that these
`
`rejections be withdrawn.
`
`E.
`
`Rejection of claims 40-43 and 49 under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable
`over Gillespie et al. in view of Funakami et al. and further in view of Hillis et al.
`(US 2006/0125799).
`
`Claims 40-43 and 49 depend from claim 2 and therefore include all of the limitations
`
`of amended claim 2. As discussed in Section C above, Gillespie and Funakami do not teach
`
`at least one limitation of amended claim 2. Hillis also fails to teach this claim limitation.
`
`Because ‘Gillespie, Funakami and Hillis, whether taken separately or together fail to teach at
`
`least one claim limitation of claim 2, there is no prima facie case of obviousness for claim 2
`
`and associated dependent claims 40-43 and 49. As such, Applicants respectfully request that
`
`these rejections be withdrawn.
