Appeal No. 2000-1360 Application No. 08/632,251 public, there is no teaching of the instant claimed subject matter nor is there any suggestion in Baker that the proxy server in Baker presents any security problem. Rather, Baker is interested in restricting access to certain sites by particular users and the determination of whether those users are authenticated and able to gain access to the sites is made before forwarding any request from a client to a server. The determination is not made “upon receiving a request...from a server,” as claimed. Teper clearly does not provide for this deficiency in Baker and the examiner does not rely on Teper for this feature. Since the combination of references does not reach the claimed limitation regarding the independently specified access rights of the client and the server, we do not reach the question of whether Teper provides a proper teaching of the creating of “a client security context” for combining with Baker. The examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1-12 under 35 U.S.C. 103 is reversed. REVERSED 8–Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
