Appeal No. 2002-1623
Application 09/619,933
creating a self-removing email message by placing
advertising in an email message as message content and by
associating a self-removal enhancement with the email message;
and
transmitting the self-removing email message toward
more than a few recipients, including recipients who did not ask
to receive the message.
The following reference is relied on by the examiner:
Wilfred J. Hansen, “Enhancing documents with embedded programs:
How Ness extends insets in the Andrew ToolKit,” IEEE, pages 23-32
(1990).
Claims 1 through 5, 9 through 15 and 30 through 32
stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by
Hansen. On the other hand, claims 6 through 8 and 33 through 36
stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of obvious-
ness, the examiner relies upon Hansen alone in the Final
Rejection and Answer.
Rather than repeat the positions of the appellant and
the examiner, reference is made to the Briefs and the Answer for
the respective details thereof.
