Application No. 09/239,295
A further understanding of the invention can be achieved by reading the following
claim.
58. A document re-authoring system that automatically re-authors a
document, comprising
a parse tree generating circuit;
a document size evaluation circuit; and
a transform circuit.
Claims 1-3, 11, 18, 19, 24, 25, 51, 58, 61, and 62 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102(e) as anticipated by U.S. Patent No. 5,887,133 ("Brown"). Claims 4, 5, 59, and
60 stand rejected under § 103(a) as obvious over Brown and U.S. Patent No. 6,366,933
("Ball"). Claims 6-9, 17, 47-50, and 57 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
obvious over Brown and U.S. Patent No. 6,226,642 ("Berenice"). Claims 10 and 63-70
stand rejected under § 103(a) as obvious over Brown, Berenice, and Spyglass,
Concepts and Applications: Spyglass Prism (1997).2 Claim 20 stands rejected under
§ 103(a) as obvious over Brown and Spyglass.
2Although the examiner's statement of the rejection omits claims 64-70,
(Examiner's Answer at 15), the claims depend from claim 63. Accordingly, we include
claims 64-70 in the same rejection as claim 63.
