          Appeal No. 2004-1749                                                        
          Application No. 09/047,396                                                  

          claims 8, 10 and 15", and 2) “neither Venkatraman nor Hanson                
          discloses the production and transmission of a list of processing           
          items processed by the image processing means” (brief, page 11).            
          The examiner does not respond to the first of these arguments.              
          The examiner’s response to the second argument is that                      
          “Venkatraman[’s] Figure 3 (and column 3[,] lines 19-26) teaches a           
          list associated with a device URL.  This list of items associated           
          with said device is processed and displayed to a user” (answer,             
          page 17).  Venkatraman’s figure 3 shows a printer home page                 
          having a box containing “printer name”, “administrator” and                 
          “location”.  We do not find in column 3, lines 19-26 a disclosure           
          of a list associated with a device URL.  The examiner has not               
          established that the relied-upon disclosures would have fairly              
          suggested, to one of ordinary skill in the art, processing list             
          information generation means for relating command information               
          pieces to processing list information pieces and returning the              
          information pieces to a processing list information transfer                
          requester (claims 8 and 15) or an information terminal (claim 10)           
          if the processing list information transfer request is received.            
               The appellant argues, regarding claims 17-32, that                     
          Venkatraman “does not teach or suggest that that [sic] the web              
          page provides resource request information related to processing            
                                          6
