Claims 14, 15, 17-19, 21-31, 33-35, 37-43, 45-47 and 49-56
stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable
over Alles, Toader and Kupka.
We make reference to the answer (Paper No. 16, mailed
October 28, 2003) for the Examiner’s reasoning and to the appeal
brief (Paper No. 15, filed July 23, 2003) and the reply brief
(paper No. 17, filed December 18, 2003) for Appellant’s arguments
thereagainst.
OPINION
The Examiner relies on Alles for teaching the claimed method
steps except for accessing over the Internet that would comprise
downloading over the Internet which is disclosed by Toader as
allowing the authorized user to download information (answer,
pages 4 & 5). The Examiner further relies on Kupka for teaching
the transmission of encryption key and encryption information
which would have prevented unauthorized access to the information
being transmitted over the internet (answer, page 6).
