code of the applet is put directly into the Web page. Appellants
argue that it is technically incorrect. Appellants point out
that the source code of the applet does not become a viewable
portion of a Web page that embeds in the applet. Appellants
argue that it is well known that applets are small compiled Java
programs that can be referenced in the HTML document of a Web
page. Thus, the embedding of an applet in a Web page does not
mean that the source code of the applet is included in the HTML
document of the Web page. See pages 2 and 3 of the reply brief.
Turning to Liu, we find that Liu teaches that an applet
includes multimedia elements which further include timing codes
and synchronization functions which provide for the
synchronization of delivery of multimedia elements. See column
2, lines 56 through 60. Liu teaches that the applet is
dynamically downloaded from a Web server to the browser of a
user’s computer that is accessing the Web page. See column 4,
lines 34 through 62. Flanagan teaches that these applet tags
that are provided in the Web page that allow the user to cause
the applet to be dynamically downloaded specify the name of the
applet. See page 239 of Flanagan. In particular, Flanagan
