`
`REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 254 and 37 C.F.R. § 1.322, Applicant requests that a Certificate
`
`of Correction be issued in respect of the above-identified patent. A duly prepared Certificate of
`
`r.
`
`Correction Form PTO/SB/44 is appended.
`
`The error to be corrected is in the first line of claim 8 wherein a word has been deleted.
`
`Corrected claim 8 should read "The method of claim 1, wherein the first input comprises
`
`detecting a pointing device in proximity to the instant message".
`
`The error in the patent occurred through the fault of the Patent Office, as clearly
`
`disclosed by the records of the application which matured into this patent. Accordingly,
`
`Applicant believes that no fee is due.
`
`Issuance of the Certificate of Correction remedying the errors is earnestly requested.

`OMB Clearance and PRA Burden Statement for PTOL-85 Part B
`
`The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 requires Federal agencies to obtain Office of Management and
`Budget approval before requesting most types of information from the public. When OMB approves an agency
`request to collect information from the public, OMB (i) provides a valid OMB Control Number and expiration
`date for the agency to display on the instrument that will be used to collect the information and (ii) requires the
`agency to inform the public about the OMB Control Number's legal significance in accordance with 5 CFR
`1320.5(b).
`
`The information collected by PTOL-85 Part B is required by 37 CFR 1.311. The information is required to obtain
`or retain a benefit by the public which is to file (and by the USPTO to process) an application. Confidentiality is
`governed by 35 U.S.C. 122 and 37 CFR 1.14. This collection is estimated to take 12 minutes to complete,
`including gathering, preparing, and submitting the completed application form to the USPTO. Time will vary
`depending upon the individual case. Any comments on the amount of time you require to complete this form
`and/or suggestions for reducing this burden, should be sent to the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Patent and
`Trademark Office, U.S. Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. DO NOT
`SEND FEES OR COMPLETED FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS. SEND TO: Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box
`1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to
`respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number.

`proceedings or abandonment of the application or expiration of the patent.
