                Application 09/036,699                                                                                                       

                                 22.    A network comprising:                                                                                
                                         a first platform and a second platform;                                                             
                                         said platforms being adapted to parse a list of URLs from a                                         
                                 requested network data object and to pre-fetch via said network                                             
                                 connection said URLs to a remote proxy server.                                                              
                                 24.    An article comprising:                                                                               
                                         a machine readable storage medium having stored thereon                                             
                                 instructions capable of being executed by a data processing                                                 
                                 platform, said instructions being adapted to parse a list of URLs                                           
                                 from a received network data object and to pre-fetch via a network                                          
                                 connection said URLs to a remote platform in accordance with a                                              
                                 pre-determined pre-fetching policy.                                                                         
                                                                Discussion                                                                   
                A.      The Anticipation Rejection                                                                                           
                        To establish anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102, each and every element and limitation in                            
                a claim, arranged as is recited in the claim, must be found in a single prior art reference.  Karsten                        
                Mfg. Corp. v. Cleveland Golf Co., 242 F.3d 1376, 1383, 58 USPQ2d 1286, 1291 (Fed. Cir.                                       
                2001); see also Glaxo, Inc. v. Novopharm, Ltd., 52 F.3d 1043, 1047, 34 USPQ2d 1565, 1567                                     
                (Fed. Cir. 1995).  The examiner has rejected claims 24 and 26 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being                              
                anticipated by Barrett.  Claim 26 depends from claim 24 and thus includes all the  limitations of                            
                claim 24.  Claim 24 specifically requires stored instructions executable on a data processing                                
                platform, which are adapted (1) to parse a list of URLs from a received network data object and                              
                (2) to pre-fetch via a network connection the URLs to a remote platform in accordance with a                                 



                                                                     3
