Patent 5,253,341
1 "end user means for formulating a query via a data input means and inputting said query to
2 remote query and data retrieval means" on reception system 400 as discussed at column 73, lines
3 53-68, which he reproduces in part as follows:
4 Through this interaction, the user is able to input data into fields
5 provided as part of the display, or may individually select choices causing
6 a standard or personalized page to be built . . . for display on the monitor
7 of personal computer 405. . . . For example, the user may select a
8 particular option, such as opening on closing window partition 275, which
9 is present on the monitor and follow the selection with a completion key
10 stroke, such as ENTER.

12 3d Action at 77, para. 15(a); Final Action at 235, para. 15(a).
13 Dr. Koopman does not deny that the claimed “end user means” and “remote query and
14 data retrieval means” read on reception system 400 or that the reception system has “data input
15 means,” such a keyboard 424. Instead, he appears to arguing the cited passage does not describe
16 using the input means of the reception system 400 to formulate a request for an object from
17 interactive network 10:
18 The portion of Filepp cited by the examiner does not teach inputting the
19 request to remote query and data retrieval means as alleged. Moreover,
20 the examiner has omitted a key sentence of the cited passage, namely col.
21 73 lines 57-64, which states that activity responsive to the inputs occurs at
22 a client computer RS 400, which is not a remote query and data retrieval
23 means. There is no specific disclosure of inputting a request to a remote
24 query and data retrieval means. Moreover, because Filepp teaches the use
25 of native code modules that are run on client machines, the default
26 assumption for execution where not otherwise stated is on client machines,
27 not a remote machine. Additional disclosure of objects and interaction
28 screens being entirely local to a client machine can be found in col. 87
29 lines 5-14 of Filepp.

31 2d Koopman Decl. at 160-61, para. 344. The passage in column 87 to which Dr. Koopman
32 refers explains that the object may reside in various locations in reception system 400, such as in
