`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
`
`Thefollowing is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103(a) which formsthe basis forall
`
`obviousnessrejections 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 ofthistitle, 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 obviousatthe time the
`invention was madeto 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 Stingeris the primary userinterface that
`
`serves as the software intermediary between the applications and the handheld devices
`
`(see Parekh reference, page 3 and thereinafter). The operating systemsdifferin
`
`features such assize distribution, homogeneity, asset specificity and demandstability
`
`(see Parekh reference, page 5).
`
`It would have been obvious to those skilled in the art at the time of the invention
`
`was madeto replace Karagiannis’s operating system with Linux, EPOC, PocketPC or
`
`Stinger disclosed by Parekhto arrive the claimed invention with a motivation to provide
`
`the end userwith variable capabilities or to take advantage ofdifferent operating system
`
`(see Parekh reference, page 5).

`
`Regarding claims 19-22, in addition to features recited in base claim 18 (see
`
`rationales pertaining the rejection of base claim 18 discussed above), Karagiannisfails
`
`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 accordancewith 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 7, left column,first
`
`paragraph).
`
`It would have been obvious to those skilled in the art at the time of the invention
`
`was madeto replace Karagiannis’s operating system with Linux, EPOC, PocketPC or
`
`Stinger disclosed by DELLto arrive the claimed invention with a motivation to provide
`
