(elements 18 and 24). The examiner points to column 3, lines 27-

Moreover, the examiner points to column 3, lines 12-26, and 30-48,
of the reference for the teaching of transmitting the video content
to the client device one or more times during the rental period.

teaching of determining that the rental period has expired, and
further indicates column 4, lines 44-48, of the reference for the
