          Appeal No. 2003-0428                                                        
          Application 09/116,564                                                      

          document is first copied into a new HTML page on the local hard             
          drive.  The original page is then parsed to prepare a list                  
          hypertext references.  For each reference tag in the base HTML              
          document, a copy of the file is retrieved on the server and then            
          saved on the local hard drive.  See Mantha, column 2, lines 22              
          through 44.  A more detailed description of the operation is                
          provided in columns 9 and 10 of Mantha.  There, Mantha teaches              
          that the references are changed to reflect the local storage                
          system addressing.  See Mantha, column 9, line 58, through column           
          10, line 7.  Thus, Mantha does not teach a reference locator that           
          references a target location for an address determinator that               
          identifies a second reference.  This is because Mantha has no               
          need to do so since the Web page is being saved as a local Cache.           
               Now the question before us, is there any suggestion in                 
          Mantha to make the suggested modifications proposed by the                  
          Examiner.  Upon our review of the entire reference, we fail to              
          find that Mantha provides any suggestion or even hint of making             
          such a modification.  As pointed out above, Mantha is concerned             
          with providing a simple technique to take a snap shot of a                  
          particular Web page.  Mantha proposed a simple solution by simply           
          providing a copy of the Web page on the client local hard drive             
          disk.  With this simple technique, there is no need to determine            
                                          9
