          Appeal No. 1997-3104                                                        
          Application 08/221,124                                                      



                    On page 5 of the brief, Appellant argues that                     
          Moeller does not disclose a method of remotely processing an                
          API request                                                                 


          by a server rather than a client terminal.  Appellant argues                
          that the term "server" clearly refers to a computer which                   
          services an API request instead of the client terminal that                 
          executes the application which produces the API request.  On                
          pages 7 and 8   of the brief, Appellant further argues that                 
          Moeller does not inherently teach a method of remotely                      
          processing an API request by a server rather than a client                  
          terminal.                                                                   
                    We note that Appellant's claim 1 recites the method               
          for processing an API request generated by an application                   
          program that is executed in a client terminal.  Furthermore,                
          we note that Appellant's claim 1 recites:  allocating a block               
          of operating memory by the client terminal; placing the data                
          and defining the client terminal API request in the block of                
          operating memory by the client terminal; sending the data and               
          instructions for creating the block of memory to the server                 

                                          7
