similar to the system of Brobst, it would have been obvious to
combine the teachings of Brobst and Dubbels to include the
printing step automatically and individually printing each of a
plurality of web pages “in order to make the system more
efficient” (answer-page 5).
The examiner further recognized that the Brobst/Dubbels
combination still failed to teach that if a first web page of a
plurality of web pages appears more than once among the
plurality, the first web page is only printed once.
The examiner turned to Hoffert, asserting that at column 3,
line 28 - column 4, line 23, Hoffert described a hash table
scheme to guarantee that only unique new URLs (web pages) are
added to a database and that if any URL link that is already
found in the hash table is found, the URL is not added to the
list of URLs for processing (answer-page 5).
The examiner concluded that it would have been obvious to
combine Hoffert with the other references to include the feature
that if a first web page of a plurality of web pages appears more
than once among the plurality, the first web page is only printed
once, because this “would prevent printing duplicate data and
also prevent the waste or loss of time and papers” (answer-page
5).
