Appeal 2007-1305
Application 09/725,394
1 Since Schneider’s system contains content that users wish to retrieve,
2 Schneider’s content is exemplary of the type of content that Fucarile’s licensing
3 system might control. Thus it would have been obvious to a person of ordinary
4 skill in the art to have applied Schneider’s content to Fucarile’s licensing system to
5 result in the subject matter of claim 1.

7 Claim 3 Argued Separately
8 As to the issue of generation of a transfer document in claim 3, again, Fucarile
9 reassembles the license and data within the plug-in program after it has been
10 transmitted from the database server, thus combining the license form and content
11 (FF17).

13 CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
14 From the above facts and analysis, we conclude that the combination of
15 Schneider and Fucarile suggests the claimed subject matter, and that it would have
16 been obvious to a person of ordinary skill to apply those elements to achieve the
17 claimed invention. Therefore, the Examiner’s rejection of claims 1-10 under 35
18 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over Schneider and Fucarile is sustained.
