RE39,610  Systems and methods for replacing open windows in a graphical user interface    (12 pages)
Returning a GUI window to its original screen location. This is used, for example, with multiple stacked windows. The user selects a window lower down in the stack to work in, and then that window is returned to its original position in the stack. This reissue patent added storing an initial location and position for a window to the claims; this feature was not present in the originally issued patent (which issued in June 2000).
