          Appeal No. 2004-2155                                                        
          Application No. 09/562,641                                Page 10           

          This disclosure refers to run code for the server, not the                  
          client-side component.  Moreover, we find that Rogers does not              
          teach applying the definition information, upon receipt, to the             
          client-side component because in Rogers, all processing of data             
          is performed on the server (col. 11, lines 7 and 8).                        
               In sum, from all of the above, we find that Rogers does not            
          meet all of the limitations of claim 1.  Accordingly, the                   

          rejection of claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) is reversed.                  
          Independent claim 24 recites the same limitation as claim 1:                
               . . . a server-side data access component for                          
               retrieving definition information for run-time                         
               operation of the client-side component, said definition                
               information including a database query specifying                      
               retrieval of information from a database and a format                  
               specification specifying presentation of the                           
               information received from the database to the end user                 
               . . .                                                                  
          The rejection of claim 24, under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e), as well as             
          the rejection of claims 2-8, 11-14, 16-29, 32 and 33, dependent             
          therefrom, is reversed.                                                     
               We turn next to the rejection of claims 9, 10, 15, 30, 31              
          and 34 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Rogers           
          in view of Sarkar.  We cannot sustain the rejection of claims 9,            
          10, 15, 31 and 34 because the examiner has not shown, nor do we
