Appeal No. 2002-0665
Application 08/977,519
Our study of Slivka and, in particular, these noted
portions that we have just emphasized, lead us to conclude that
this reference does not teach or even suggest that any assigned
HTML tag is displayed on a web page and is thereby executable by
the web browser to execute the program on the operating system as
required at the end of each independent claim on appeal. The
examiner's positions in the answer appear to take the view that
the variously mentioned HTML tags discussed in Slivka are
actually displayed in the manner claimed, yet we have found
otherwise, however. Therefore, the examiner has not presented
any arguments as to why such a feature would have been obvious to
the artisan. Moreover, we are unaware of any reasoning on our
own that may be probably advanced within 35 U.S.C. § 103 based
upon the teachings and suggestions in Slivka that the artisan
would have found it obvious to have displayed the HTML tag itself
on a web page associated with it thereby permitting the HTML tag
to be executed by the web browser to execute the corresponding
program on the operating system to the extent claimed.
