          Appeal No. 2006-0927                                                        
          Application No. 09/949,488                                                  
               Claims 1-26 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as                 
          anticipated by Gabber.                                                      

               Reference is made to the briefs and answer for the respective          
          positions of appellants and the examiner.                                   

                                        OPINION                                       

               A rejection for anticipation under Section 102 requires that           
          the four corners of a single prior art document describe every              
          element of the claimed invention, either expressly or inherently,           
          such that a person of ordinary skill in the art could practice the          
          invention without undue experimentation.  In re Paulsen, 30 F.3d            
          1475, 1478-79, 31 USPQ2d 1671, 1673 (Fed. Cir. 1994).                       

               The examiner explains, at page 3 of the answer, how Gabber is          
          applied against independent claim 1, citing column 9, lines 55-61,          
          for a method of providing user context information; column 8, lines         
          17-34, for receiving user context information from a user; and              
          column 6, lines 5-11, for transmitting a HTTP request with user             
          context information.                                                        



                                          3
