Appeal No. 2002-1517
Application No. 08/927,660
Appellant's invention relates to an HTTP caching proxy to filter and control
display of data in a web browser. An understanding of the invention can be derived
from a reading of exemplary claim 1, which is reproduced below.
1. A method of controlling presentation on a client of a Web
document formatted according to a markup language and supported on a
server, the client including a browser and connectable to the server via a
computer network, the method comprising the steps of:
as the Web document is received on the client, parsing the Web
document to identify formatting information;
altering the formatting information to modify at least one display
characteristic of the Web document; and
passing the Web document to the browser for display.
The prior art of record relied upon by the examiner in rejecting the appealed
claims is as follows:

Claims 1-12, 14, 18-19, 21-23, and 25-29 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Mighdoll. Claims 13, 15-17, 20, 24, and 30 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Mighdoll in view of Brown.
