                Appeal 2007-1271                                                                              
                Application 10/005,583                                                                        
                                                   Issue 3:                                                   
                3. We decide the question of whether Kuwata discloses uploading a                             
                control screen to a user browser.                                                             
                      a. Appellant argues that Kuwata does not disclose uploading                             
                      content to a user browser in the form of at least one control screen                    
                      (Br. 12).                                                                               
                      b. The Examiner disagrees.  The Examiner argues that Kuwata                             
                      discloses different folders shown to users based upon their                             
                      registration.  The Examiner notes that for registered users, the                        
                      “Public” and “private” folders are shown, while for an Administrator                    
                      the “DEPARTMENT” folder is shown in addition to the Public and                          
                      private folders (see Kuwata, ¶ 0047).  Therefore, the Examiner finds                    
                      Kuwata discloses content that is uploaded based on user registration                    
                      before the scanning occurred (Answer 14).                                               

                      With respect to issue 3, we agree with Appellant that Kuwata does not                   
                disclose uploading content to a user browser in the form of at least one                      
                control screen.  While we agree with the Examiner that user registration or                   
                Administrator status permits various levels of access, we find nothing in the                 
                cited portion of Kuwata that may be reasonably characterized as an express                    
                or inherent teaching of uploading a control screen to a user browser.  Our                    
                further review of the entire Kuwata reference finds no disclosure to support                  
                the Examiner’s position.                                                                      
                                                   Issue 4:                                                   
                4. We decide the question of whether Kuwata discloses uploading an                            
                application to a user browser.                                                                

                                                      9
