DeRose teaches that the HyTime engines are implemented by a
compiler, which by very definition compiles an ASCII files
[sic] to an executable file."
From our review of DeRose, we agree with the examiner
that DeRose discloses (pages 96 and 96) implementing HyTime
engines using a compiler. However, from our review of the
portions of DeRose relied upon by the examiner we find no
disclosure of compiling the ASCII source file to condense the
composites and generating a binary file based upon the
compiling step. We agree with appellants (reply brief, page
2) that:
The relevant claim language concerning the step of
compiling is recited in two steps, “compiling the
ASCII source file to condense the composites defined
and the composites referenced by the composites
defined; generating at the network server a binary
file based on step of compiling.” As recited, the
steps condense multiple composite files, i.e., the
composites defined and the composites referenced by
the composites defined, into a binary file.
Compiling multiple files into a single file
necessarily reduces the number of files within the
multimedia application.
The examiner's statement that it is "irrelevant" as to
whether DeRose reduces the number of files within a multimedia
application ignores the specific limitation "compiling the
ASCII source file to condense the composites defined and the
