         Application No. 09/794,742                                                 
         control the remainder of the decisional process.” Panduit Corp.            
         v. Dennison Mfg., 810 F.2d 1561, 1567-68, 1 USPQ2d 1593, 1597              
         (Fed. Cir. 1987).                                                          
              We note that representative claim 1 reads in part as                  
         follows:                                                                   
                        [D]etermining if there is a link  text string               
                   associated with the first attribute value if the source          
                   of the at least one first attribute value is an anchor           
                   tag pair; storing the link text string in the index              
                   file with its associated at least one first attribute            
                   value if there is an associated link text string;                
                   linking to a page URL defined by the at least one first          
                   attribute value and parsing the code of that page for a          
                   title tag if it was determined in step (d) that there            
                   is no associated link text string.                               
              We note at paragraph 33, Appellant’s specification states             
         the following:                                                             
              Next, the source of the HREF attribute value is determined            
         via step 106. If the source is an anchor tag pair, it is                   
         determined if there is a "plain English" link text string                  
         associated with that HREF attribute, via step 108. If there is a           
         link text string associated with the HREF attribute, then the              
         link text string is stored in the index file with its                      
         corresponding HREF attribute value, via step 110. If there is no           
         link text string associated with the HREF attribute value (step            
         108), then a link is made to the page URL defined by the HREF              
         attribute and the underlying code of that page is parsed for a             
         title tag, via step 114. Thereafter, the value of the title tag            
                                         8
