          Appeal No. 2003-0428                                                        
          Application 09/116,564                                                      

          claim 1 and similarly required by claim 11.  See pages 5 through            
          7 of the brief and the reply brief.  Appellant further argues               
          that Mantha does not teach or suggest an address determinator as            
          required by claim 8.  See pages 7 and 8 of the brief and the                
          reply brief.                                                                
               Claim 8 recites:                                                       
               an address determinator that identifies a second reference;            
               a data transferrer that receives the object and transfers it           
               to the second reference; and, a reference replacer that                
               replaces the first reference with the second reference.                
               The Examiner agrees that Mantha does not teach determining a           
          second reference locator that references a target location in a             
          second file system, placing a copy of the object at the target              
          location in the second file system, and replacing the first                 
          locator in the document with the second reference locator as                
          required by claims 1 and 11.  However the Examiner argues that it           
          would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at              
          the time the invention was made for the second locator to                   
          reference a target location in a second file system and to                  
          incorporate a target location in Mantha because such a                      
          modification will enhance the ability of the user to be directed            
          to another location if the Web page content and/or file is                  
          present on the client.  For claim 8, the Examiner states that               
                                          6
