                Appeal 2007-0716                                                                              
                Application 09/946,201                                                                        
                The Examiner therefore concludes that Schreiber anticipates claims 1                          
                through 4, 6, 8 through 18, 20, and 22 through 55. (Id.)                                      
                We affirm.                                                                                    

                                                  ISSUES                                                      
                The pivotal issue in the appeal before us is as follows:                                      
                Have Appellants shown that the Examiner failed to establish that Schreiber                    
                anticipates the claimed invention under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e), when Schreiber                    
                teaches a server that transmits an updated encryption key to client computers                 
                that have previously registered with the server to permit the clients to decode               
                protected images transmitted by the server?                                                   

                                           FINDINGS OF FACT                                                   
                      The following findings of fact are supported by a preponderance of                      
                   the evidence.                                                                              
                              The invention                                                                   
                1. Appellants invented a method and system for controlling clients’                           
                access to the content of a webpage located on a server (104).                                 
                (Specification 9.)                                                                            
                2. The client device (112), using a resident browser application (610),                       
                requests to access the content of the webpage from the server (104). (Id.)                    
                3. Upon receiving from the server (104) the requested webpage along                           
                with the user’s profile and HTML ARI tags associated with the requested                       
                content, the web browser application (610) parses the content of the                          
                webpage to determine how to present it to the client device. (Id.)                            


                                                      4
