          Application No. 09141,088                                                   


          page 2 of the principal brief, all claims will stand or fall                
          together.                                                                   


               It is the examiner’s position that Scherpbier discloses the            
          claimed subject matter but for the generation of a message to the           
          at least first and second client computers, the message including           
          the URL of the document to be viewed at the at least first and              
          second computers and the transmission of the message to the at              
          least first and second client computers, the URL included in the            
          message to be used by each of the at least first and second                 
          client computer to retrieve and display the document to be                  
          viewed.                                                                     
               The examiner turns to Anupam for a teaching of a                       
          collaborative web browsing system wherein the server transmits              
          the URL of a web page to all participants to be used by the                 
          participants to retrieve the web page, citing column 1, line 19 -           
          column 2, line 7 of Anupam.                                                 
               The examiner concludes therefrom that it would have been               
          obvious to incorporate the method of sending the second computer            
          the URL, as taught by Anupam, into the collaboration system of              
          Scherpbier “in order to provide flexibility of a collaboration              
          system by allowing each participant to ‘pull’ web pages from                

                                         -5–
