Appeal No. 2004-1463
Application 09/401,221
Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. An Internet system, comprising:
a) a main server for storing information to be requested
over the Internet by a client so as to form a request
for information and having an IP address; and
b) at least one participant server having an IP address
and electrically communicating with said main server;
said at least one participant server not receiving the
request for information from the client, but rather
said main server receiving the request for information
over the Internet from the client and requesting over
the Internet that said at least one participant server
send the requested information over the Internet back
to the client, and if said at least one participant
server does not have the requested information, the
requested information is downloaded from said main
server to said at least one participant server, and
when said at least one participant server sends the
requested information over the Internet back to the
client, said at least one participant server assigns to
the requested information said IP address of said main
server and not said IP address of said at least one
participant server.
The examiner relies on the following references:
Brendel et al. (Brendel) 5,774,660 June 30, 1998
Leighton et al. (Leighton) 6,108,703 Aug. 22, 2000
(filed May 19, 1999)
Claims 1-6 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). As
evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Brendel in view of
Leighton.
