          Appeal No. 2006-0362                                                                        
          Application No. 09/455,201                                                                  

          the references identify the special problems of Internet                                    
          streaming video or indicate that Internet streaming video should                            
          be treated differently from Web page data.  Therefore even if the                           
          cited references were combined, the resulting system would not                              
          treat Internet streaming video and Web page data differently as                             
          in the method and apparatus of claims 1, 6, 10, 14, 19 and 23."                             
          Appellants add (id.) that [s]pecifically, the combination of                               
          the references would not result in the headend method and                                   
          apparatus of claims, 1, 6, 14 and 19 where a 'World Wide Web page                           
          contains a given URL corresponding to streaming video' and both                             
          the Web page and the streaming video are treated differently."                              
                                                                                                     
               From our review of the record, we find, for the reasons                                
          which follow, that the combined teachings of Hodge and Dureau                               
          fail to establish a prima facie case of obviousness of claims 1,                            
          2, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, 15, 19, 20, 23 and 24.                                                 
               As shown by Hodge in figure 4, data 107 in Ethernet data                               
          frame 101 is mapped into payload 130 of MPEG bit stream frame 121                           
          (page 2, paragraph 22 and page 4, paragraph 32).  It is disclosed                           
          (page 4, para 31) that the payload section 130 is copied from the                           
          data section 107 of the Ethernet frame.  As shown in figure 5                               

                                        Παγε 8
