          Appeal No. 2004-1148                                                        
          Application No. 09/374,694                                                  


               Regarding claims 6, 9, 11, and 18 through 20, the examiner             
          has presented no further evidence or reasoning as to why it would           
          have been obvious to the skilled artisan to modify Rubin to base            
          the criteria for caching on a semantic type associated with the             
          information resource.  Therefore, we cannot sustain the                     
          obviousness rejection of claims 6, 9, 11, and 18 through 20.                


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through 20             
          under 35 U.S.C. § 102(a) over AAPA, claims 1 through 5, 7, 8, 10,           
          and 12 through 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) over Rubin, and claims           
          6, 9, 11, and 18 through 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Rubin is             
          reversed.
