files stored in a data repository"; (2) "an editable layer
allowing the programmer to program selective control of access by
the IMV to the multimedia files"; and (3) "the programmed
selective control in the editable layer restricts selected
multimedia files from being accessed by the IMV." Independent
claim 16 recites limitation (1) and recites "editing an editable
layer of the at least one IMV by programming limitations
restricting access by the IMV to preselected multimedia files" in
place of limitations (2) and (3). The invention is described
with respect to Figs. 10 and 11 in the specification at page 47,
line 3, to page 49, line 2; page 51, line 14, to page 52,
line 14; page 52, lines 21-29; and page 53, lines 25-29.
The examiner finds that Syeda does not teach a "a code set
adapted to access and present media code from multimedia files
stored in a data repository," but the examiner reasons (R4):
Syeda can perform accessing and rendering media from
multimedia files stored in a data repository and provides
the interactive dialog for accessing and rendering
multimedia data (col. 4, lines 4-30).
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the
art at the time [] the invention was made to have modified
Syeda to include the code set to perform said accessing and
rendering and the Interactive Multimedia Viewer because of
the following reason. The ability of performing accessing
and rendering of Syeda implies that the software program in
Syeda should include related software modules as well as
associated codes implemented to perform these functions.
Further, accessing and rendering multimedia data via the
interactive dialog suggests that the application in Syeda be
a Interactive Multimedia Application.
