Appeal No. 2002-0145
Application No. 09/090,990
combines Tang and Pallmann to arrive at the instant claimed
subject matter. Tang converts multi-media messages to differing
physical transmission media, with apparently no interest in a
recipient’s computer system, while Pallmann retrieves data from a
selected data source and transfers it to a selected data target.
If the references were combined and a conversion of messages to
differing transmission media occurred, it is difficult to see how
this relates to the instant claimed invention which does not
involve conversion of messages to differing transmission media,
but, rather, involves creation of an HTML document, checking
designated recipients for HTML capability and sending the
document to a designated recipient in accordance with the
recipient’s HTML capability.
Accordingly, we find no proper prima facie case established
by the examiner and we will not sustain the rejection of claims
1-30 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Tang in view of Pallmann.
