           1    of access based on matching access rules to information determined from the                   
           2    assembled multi-packet communication (claim 15), much less the non-                           
           3    intrusive manner of assembling a multi-packet communication and                               
           4    subsequent non-intrusive applying of rules to the assembled multi-packet                      
           5    communication as are recited in claims 1 and 15.                                              
           6          For a number of claim features including the assembling of multi-                       
           7    packet communication, the Examiner collectively cites to the following

          10    For the feature of applying access rules of claim 1, the Examiner cites to                    
          11    these portions of Abraham:  Abstract, Figs. 2, 3A [elements 50, 62, 72, 76,                   
          12    78], 4 [element 50], 5, 7A-7C, 8E, 9A-12, 15A-118, col. 2, lines 13-35, et

          15    line 1, et seq.  For the feature of applying access rules of claim 11 and                     
          16    controlling access based on matching rules of claim 15, the Examiner cites                    
          17    to these portions of Abraham:  Figs. 14-15B, 16, 21, 24, 25A-B, col. 6, lines

          21    find disclosure of the assembling of received or intercepted data packets into                
          22    a multi-packet communication for purposes of application of any access rule                   
          23    or the application of access rule to an assembled multi-packet                                
          24    communication (claim 1) or information content acquired from the                              


                                                     15
