Appeal No. 2004-0171 Page 3 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.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
