          Appeal No. 2002-0288                                                        
          Application No. 08/883,241                                                  

          becomes the “designated” deepest node level.                                

               With regard to downloading documents in the nodes on levels            
          that are in and between the root node and the node at the deepest           
          node level, appellants do not argue that Hughes may not be                  
          combined with Sanderman.  Rather, they merely argue that neither            
          Sanderman nor Hughes discloses “downloading, into the memory of             
          the local computer system, documents in the nodes on levels that            
          are in and between the root node and the node at the deepest node           
          level.”  But then, appellants argue that the combination of                 
          references would result in all of the network information being             
          downloaded to the local computer because Hughes does not                    
          designate a deepest node level of the tree structure and so                 
          cannot download documents in nodes on levels that are in and                
          between the root node and the node of the deepest level                     
          designated on the tree structure.                                           
               The point is, as broadly claimed, a result of all the                  
          network information being downloaded to the local computer (which           
          appellants admit would result in the combination of Hughes with             
          Sanderman) would meet the instant claim language wherein the                
          designation of the deepest node level is, in fact, the                      
          designation of all the information.                                         
                                         -9–
