               Appeal 2007-0990                                                                       
               Application 09/871,920                                                                 
               citation to “recording specific dates” at column 23, lines 60-62 and column            
               15, lines 42-45 of Ivanov, but has not provided a specific citation directed to        
               initiating the update review process in response to the current data matching          
               the update review data identified in the content management record.  Upon              
               review of the sections cited by the Examiner, and the references in their              
               entirety, we find Ivanov and Kilbaner do not teach or reasonably suggest that          
               “initiating the update review process is performed in response to the current          
               data matching the update review data identified in the content management              
               record,” as required by the language of claims 25 and 44. While Ivanov                 
               discloses various dates in the content management record (e.g., col. 11, lines         
               45-50; col. 12, lines 53-58; col. 14, lines 14-18; col. 15, lines 40-44), we find      
               nothing in Ivanov that fairly teaches initiating an update review process in           
               response to the current data matching one of these dates.                              
                    Regarding claims 28 and 46, we find Appellants’ arguments                         
               persuasive (Br. 16).  We note again that the Examiner has provided only a              
               single paragraph in support of the rejection of numerous dependent claims,             
               including claims 28 and 46 (Answer 5, 12).  The Examiner has not provided              
               any specific citation directed to “demotion of the content item,” as claimed           
               (claims 28 and 46).  Upon review of the general citations of the Examiner,             
               and the entirety of Ivanov and Klibaner, we find nothing in Ivanov or                  
               Kilbaner that fairly teaches or reasonably suggests that “initiating the update        
               review process includes initiating demotion of the content item a time period          
               after the update review process has been initiated if the update review                
               process has not yet been completed,” as required by the language of claim              
               28 and the equivalent language of claim 46.                                            


                                                 14
