document. (FF 4-5.) Therefore, one of ordinary skill in the art would not be
discouraged from using Curbow in creating a text document such as a P3P
policy.
Next, Appellants argue that the combination of the P3P Note and
Curbow does not meet each feature recited in claim 1. (Br. 17-18; Reply
Br. 4-6.) In particular, Appellants argue that the limitations of "receiving,
from a user, first choices of which data group of data groups of said plurality
of data groups each of said plurality of data elements shall be placed into"
and "generating a first version of the privacy policy for the website based on
said first choices" are not met by the combination of the P3P Note and
Curbow. We do not agree.
The Examiner found that the "P3P Note teaches creating a policy
composed of a data elements and groups for use by a website . . . [and]
teaches that a policy is initially created for a website in fig. 1, pages 3-6, 9,
and 10." (Final Office Action mailed January 19, 2006, at 9; see also FF 1-
2.) The Examiner also found that "Curbow teaches a specific
implementation of generating a document based on user choices of elements
and then subsequently regenerating the document into a second version
when the elements are added, subtracted, or modified." (Final Office Action
mailed January 19, 2006, at 9; see also FF 3-4.) In addition, the Examiner
found that the "P3P note gives meaning to data elements, data groups, and
their relation to a privacy policy and Curbow provides teachings for the
manipulation of the data elements and the document they consequently
create." (Final Office Action mailed January 19, 2006, at 9-10.) Therefore,
