Appeal No. 2001-1664
Application No. 08/960,787
record is missing in de Hond. We further find that whereas Herz
does create sub-sets of information which are aligned with the
frequent search for the same items of information by the same
user, Herz also does not create a second record as recited in the
claims and therefore does not disclose the concept of creating
a score, which in turn is used to create “friends” which in turn
are used to execute a more efficient searching of the information
using the results created by “friends” of the user.
Therefore, we do not sustain the rejection of claim 1 over
de Hond in view of Herz. The other independent claim 7, is an
apparatus claim which corresponds to the method of claim 1 and
contains the same limitations. Therefore, we do not sustain the
rejection of all the appealed claims, 1-7, over de Hond in view
of Herz.
