independent claim 1 on appeal. We generally agree with the
appellants’ observations that in Noble it is the users or the
client computers associated with the users that themselves in
part determine that a web page has changed in some manner. It is
mainly the monitoring systems of both references that merely
determine that a change has occurred. In fact, in Noble the
reader is taught nothing about the owners of the files associated
with the servers in this reference since the reference itself
appears to be silent as to this claimed feature. Even though the
change notifications taught extensively in Noble may include a
changed address such as web page documents being moved to another
URL as taught at column 13, line 55 through 59, it is not taught
or suggested in Noble that it is the owners of the web page
associated with the URL that cause the Internet address to
change, and that the change is to occur at a network server that
actively sends it to a user/client.
Correspondingly, in Inakoshi it is indicated at column 2
lines 10-24, that a resource is image and text information that a
sender creates and sends out such as through a home page on the
Internet and that can be updated by that sender. Even if we
assume for the sake of argument that the sender in this instance
is or corresponds to the claimed owner of the resource, and
