          Appeal No. 2003-0726                                                        
          Application No. 09/456,076                                                  

          a user and a temporary copy of the web page is stored on the user           
          accessible device which accesses the web page.  Indexing                    
          information corresponding to the content of the accessed web page           
          is automatically recorded at the user accessible device, the                
          indexing information being thereafter transmitted from the device           
          to a remote storage device which provides the search engine                 
          database.                                                                   
               claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and reads as                  
          follows:                                                                    
               1.  A method for providing indexed web page contents to a              
          search engine database, said method comprising the steps of:                
               providing user access to a web page from a temporary copy of           
          said web page which is stored on a device which accesses said web           
          page and which is accessible to said user; in response to each              
          user request for a web page;                                                
               automatically recording indexing data at said device from              
          said temporarily stored copy of said accessed web page, wherein             
          said indexing data corresponds to contents of said accessed web             
          page; and                                                                   
               transmitting said indexing data from said device to a remote           
          data storage device which provides a search engine database.                
               The Examiner relies on the following prior art:                        
          Rosenzweig               US 2001/0023476 A1       Sep. 20, 2001             
          (Published U.S. Patent App.)   (effectively filed Aug. 21, 1997)            

               Claims 1-29, all of the appealed claims, stand finally                 
          rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by                   
          Rosenzweig.                                                                 

                                          2
