              Appeal No. 2001-1478                                                                                        
              Application No. 08/853,539                                                                                  


              to each event, . . . and routing the event based on the determined routing type."  (See                     
              reply brief at page 3.)  We disagree with appellants as discussed above.                                    
                     Appellants argue that the teachings of Gough "does not disclose, suggest or                          
              otherwise render obvious adding events to or removing events from, a handler table                          
              according to interest indications in the events."  (See reply brief at pages 3-4.)  We find                 
              no support for the "handler table" in dependent claim 6.  Therefore, this argument is not                   
              persuasive.                                                                                                 
                     Appellants argue that the teachings of Gough have no apparent relevance to                           
              the claim language.  (See reply brief at page 4.)  We disagree as discussed above.                          
              Appellants argue that Gough  does not disclose registering or unregistering interest in                     
              an event.  (See reply brief at page 5.)  We disagree as discussed above.  Appellants                        
              argue the combination of the teachings.  (See reply brief at pages 5-6.)  We disagree                       
              as discussed above.  Appellants argue that all the events of a group are transmitted to                     
              the same destination in the system of Daniel.  (See reply brief at page 6.)  Therefore,                     
              this argument is not persuasive as discussed above.  We find no language in                                 
              independent claim 1 which prevents routing of a group or category.  Therefore, this                         
              argument is not persuasive, and we will sustain the examiner's rejection as discussed                       
              above.                                                                                                      




                                                           10
