`
`(note: should the Applicants contest Examiner's position in the rejection of claims 19-22
`
`discussed above, the below rejection is applied).
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103(a) which forms the basis for all
`
`obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
`
`(a) A patent may not be obtained though the invention is not identically disclosed or described as set
`forth in section 102 of this title, if the differences between the subject matter sought to be patented and
`the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the
`invention was made to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains.
`Patentability shall not be negatived by the manner in which the invention was made.
`
`5. Claims 19-22 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable

`
`Karagiannis in view of Parekh (OPERATING SYSTEMS ON WIRELESS HANDHELD
`
`DEVICES, pages 1-8, September 28, 2000).
`
`Regarding claims 19-22, in addition to features recited in base claim 18 (see
`
`rationales pertaining the rejection of base claim 18 discussed above), Karagiannis fails
`
`to explicitly further disclose the operating system is a Linux, EPOC, PocketPC or
`
`Stinger. However, the limitation lacks thereof from Karagiannis reference is well known
`
`and disclosed by Parekh.
`
`In accordance with Parekh reference entirety, Parekh discloses the operating
`
`system such as Linux, EPOC, PocketPC and Stinger is the primary user interface that
`
`serves as the software intermediary between the applications and the handheld devices
`
`(see Parekh reference, page 3 and thereinafter). The operating systems differ in
`
`features such as size distribution, homogeneity, asset specificity and demand stability
`
`(see Parekh reference, page 5).
`
`It would have been obvious to those skilled in the art at the time of the invention
`
`was made to replace Karagiannis’s operating system with Linux, EPOC, PocketPC or
`
`Stinger disclosed by Parekh to arrive the claimed invention with a motivation to provide
`
`the end user with variable capabilities or to take advantage of different operating system
`
`(see Parekh reference, page 5).
`
`6. Claims 19-22 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable
`
`over Karagiannis in View of DELL (WHITE PAPER, HANDHELD DEVICES:
`
`COMPARING THE MAJOR PLATFOMRS, pages 1-7) (hereinafter “DELL").

`
`Regarding claims 19-22, in addition to features recited in base claim 18 (see
`
`rationales pertaining the rejection of base claim 18 discussed above), Karagiannis fails
`
`to explicitly further disclose the operating system is a Linux, EPOC, PocketPC or
`
`Stinger. However, the limitation lacks thereof from Karagiannis reference is well known
`
`and disclosed by DELL.
`
`In accordance with Dell reference entirety, Dell compares the four major
`
`handheld platforms to include Linux, EPOC, PocketPC and Stinger. The platforms differ
`
`in features such as size, weight, functionality and applications, battery life, display
`
`characteristics, cost, and expansion and connectivity (see Dell, page 1, left column, first
`
`paragraph).
`
`It would have been obvious to those skilled in the art at the time of the invention
`
`was made to replace Karagiannis’s operating system with Linux, EPOC, PocketPC or
`
`Stinger disclosed by DELL to arrive the claimed invention with a motivation to provide
`
`the end user with variable capabilities or to take advantage of different operating system
`
`(see Dell, page 1, left column, first paragraph).
