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

          Data Systems, Inc., 730 F.2d 1440, 1444, 221 USPQ 385, 388 (Fed.            
          Cir.); cert. dismissed, 468 U.S. 1228 (1984); W.L. Gore and                 
          Associates, Inc. v. Garlock, Inc., 721 F.2d 1540, 1554, 220 USPQ            
          303, 313 (Fed. Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 469 U.S. 851 (1984).               
               With respect to each of the appealed independent claims 1,             
          9, 11, 18, 21, and 26, the Examiner attempts to read the various            
          limitations on the disclosure of Rosenzweig.  In particular, the            
          Examiner directs attention (page 3, final Office action mailed              
          May 7, 2002, Paper No. 6) to paragraphs 9, 49, 58-72, 77, and 78            
          of the disclosure of Rosenzweig.                                            
               Appellant’s arguments in response assert a failure of                  
          Rosenzweig to disclose every limitation in the appealed claims as           
          is required to support a rejection based on anticipation.  After            
          reviewing the Rosenzweig reference in light of the arguments of             
          record, we are in ultimate agreement with Appellant’s position as           
          expressed in the Briefs.                                                    
               At the outset, however, we note that we do not agree with              
          Appellant’s arguments directed to the claimed feature of                    
          automatically recording indexing data at a user accessible device           
          from a temporarily stored copy of an accessed web page “wherein             
          said indexing data corresponds to contents of said accessed web             
          page.”  In Appellant’s view (Brief, pages 6 and 7; Reply Brief,             
          page 2), the caching schemes disclosed by Rosenzweig which store            

                                          4
