          Appeal No. 2001-1317                                                        
          Application No. 08/925,845                                                  


          addition to the GIF files representing the pages of the facsimile           
          message, the HTML files include...anchors...,” as the claimed               
          identifying the portion of the received facsimile data associated           
          with the virtual machine instruction code.                                  
               Moreover, the examiner identifies column 10, line 63, of               
          Bobo, “the HTML file having the embedded image and links is sent            
          to the user...,” and column 20, line 31, of Bobo, “the                      
          MSDS...would transmit an HTML file...[to] the browser” as showing           
          a means for interpreting the machine code and HTML scripting                
          commands for display, as the claimed executing virtual machine              
          instruction code.                                                           
               Finally, the examiner identifies Figure 7 and column 12,               
          line 13, of Bobo, as showing the display of received facsimile              
          data and the display of executed virtual machine instruction                
          code.                                                                       
               For his part, appellant argues that Bobo does not provide              
          “executable content” to portions of the facsimile; that Bobo does           
          not disclose the association of portions of a received facsimile            
          with any virtual machine instruction code and that HTML is not a            
          virtual machine instruction code.  Appellant points out that the            
          term, “executable content” is understood by artisans to refer to            
          documents “containing embedded programs,” as disclosed by the               

                                         -4–
