Appeal No. 2001-0584
Application No. 09/034,067
already “pre-assembled,” Janssen does not teach or suggest this
very specific claim limitation.
The examiner contends that the selected items which comprise
the search output or result in Janssen are what “constitute the
so-called ‘package’” [answer-page 11]. However, this is not an
accurate statement. In Janssen’s example, the search output
would be a particular house having all or many of the features
desired, but the house already exists. It was not put together
for the user of the search system as a result of the search
items. The already-existing house was “matched,” as closely as
possible, to the search items.
Because our interpretation of “assembling a package”
precludes a search result constituting an already existing, or a
pre-packaged, result, Janssen does not anticipate the instant
claimed subject matter.
