          Appeal No. 2004-1585                                                         
          Application No. 09/283,562                                                   

          “a method for permitting a single Web page to include multiple               
          fragments wherein some of the included fragments belong to the               
          fast category and others belong to the slow category,” and the               
          statement that “a need exists for a system and method for                    
          generating complex Web pages which result in more flexibility in             
          Web page design and better performance than conventional                     
          approaches of treating entire Web pages as single logical                    
          entities” (specification, page 2), we assume that the                        
          conventional Web page did not mix fragments from the two                     
          different categories as required by appellants’ disclosed and                
          claimed invention.                                                           
               The examiner acknowledges (answer, page 4) that the admitted            
          prior art does not disclose “constructing objects from the                   
          plurality of fragments” as required by all of the claims on                  
          appeal.  For such a teaching, the examiner turns to Wright which             
          discloses a server unit that gathers Web pages1 from sites on the            
          Internet, and bundles the Web pages prior to transferring them to            
          a client over a broadcast medium (Figure 2; Abstract; column 5,              
          lines 22 through 50).                                                        


               1 We agree with the appellants’ argument (brief, page 6)                
          that the Web pages in Wright are “already published Web pages.”              
                                          4
