               Appeal No. 2002-0068                                                                       Page 7                  
               Application No. 09/102,038                                                                                         


               the history log database 24 according to the present invention."  Col. 4, ll. 30-31.  More                         
               specifically, "[i]n the database 24 . . . each row of the table typically includes a name or                       
               title for the web page 26, an HTTP URL 28 for the web page, and a counter 30 that is                               
               incremented every time the web page is accessed."  Id. at ll. 33-37.                                               


                      We are unpersuaded that a combination of Oliver's teaching of an HTML                                       
               document for embedding the Marquee applet, Holzner's teaching of navigating a Web                                  
               browser to a URL, and Peercy's teaching of history log database would have suggested                               
               using control information derived from execution of an applet in a first HTML page to                              
               generate a map relating a second HTML file with a command to show a second HTML                                    
               page.  Therefore, we reverse the obviousness rejection of claim 1; of claim 2, which                               
               depends therefrom; of claim 7;  of claims 8 and 10, which depends therefrom; of                                    
               claim 11; of claim 12, which depends therefrom; of claim 15; and of claim 16, which                                
               depends therefrom.                                                                                                 


                      The examiner does not allege, let alone show, that the addition of Glaser cures                             
               the aforementioned deficiency of Oliver, Holzner, and Peercy.  Therefore, we also                                  
               reverse the obviousness rejection of claims 3, 4, 9, 13, and 14.                                                   


                                                        Claims 5 and 6
