         Appeal No. 2006-2975                                                       
         Application No. 09/794,742                                                 
         with its corresponding HREF value is stored in the index file,             
         via step 116.                                                              
              Thus, the claim does require determining whether each                 
         attribute value is associated with a corresponding anchor tag              
         pair via a link text string, which is subsequently stored in an            
         index file. The claim does further require linking an attribute            
         value to a title tag pertaining to a page if the attribute value           
         is not associated with a link text string.                                 
              Now, the question before us is what Roberts and Nielsen               
         would have taught to one of ordinary skill in the art?  To answer          
         this question, we find the following facts:                                
              1. At column 4, lines 26 through 57, Roberts states the               
         following:                                                                 
                        When parsing the retrieved HTML file, web browser           
                   212 identifies one or more internal links linking the            
                   HTML file to one or more other HTML files residing on            
                   remote website 120a (step 305). Web browser 212                  
                   identifies the internal links to HTML files residing on          
                   remote website 120a by, for example, parsing the                 
                   retrieved HTML file for an appropriate tag, for example          
                   an <HREF> tag. If an <HREF> tag does not include the             
                   term "http://," web browser 212 determines that the              
                   <HREF> tag identifies an internal link to an HTML file           
                   residing in remote web site 120a.        Web browser             
                   212 then determines whether there are additional                 
                   internal links in the retrieved HTML file (step 310).            
                   For each identified internal link (step 315), web                
                   browser 212 retrieves from remote website 120a the               
                   internal HTML file associated with the identified                
                   internal link (step 300) by repeating steps 300 through          
                   step 310.        When web browser 212 determines that            
                                         9
