Appeal No. 2002-1761
Application No. 09/169,757
As explained supra, the portion of Pepe cited by the examiner
does not teach or suggest the routing of messages over an
Internet gateway for informing a subscriber that there is a voice
mail message waiting. That portion of Pepe does disclose that a
subscriber may receive a message regarding receipt of a voice
mail message, but that notification appears to come from a pager,
i.e., a wireless network, not, necessarily, via the Internet.
Most certainly, there is no suggestion in that portion of Pepe on
which the examiner relies, of generating a Short Message Service
message notification and routing that type of message over a
local Internet gateway, as required by independent claim 1.
Accordingly, the examiner’s combination of Pepe with Amin will
not result in the instant claimed subject matter.
