Appeal No. 2005-1431
Application 09/442,070
hypermedia document, that specifies the location of at least a portion of an
object external to the first distributed hypermedia document,
wherein said object has type information associated with it to
identify and locate an executable application external to the first
distributed hypermedia document, and
wherein said embed text format is parsed by said browser to
automatically invoke said executable application to execute on said client
workstation in order to display said object and enable interactive
processing of said object within a display area created at said first location
within the portion of said first distributed hypermedia document being
displayed in said first browser-controlled window.
The "Preliminary Amendment"13 filed with the application inserted definitions of a
number of terms following column 66, line 41 of the specification and proposed to add new
drawing Figures 57 and 58, which are copies of Figures 9.2 and 9.3 from page 170 (in Chapter 9)
of the Windows Interface document.
In an April 26, 2001, first Office action,14 the examiner (a) refused to approve the new
drawings and objected to the amendment to the specification as introducing new matter and
(b) rejected claims 40-49 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, on the ground that various
claim terms, including the "network" terms, lack written description support.
