                Appeal 2006-2704                                                                              
                Application 10/007,829                                                                        


                references.  We also agree with the Examiner that the options shown in                        
                Figures 2 and 3A of Farros ‘686 related to selecting and saving work, are                     
                indeed imaging extensions that require receiving calls in order to interact                   
                with the browser and use all of the available functions.  Accordingly, we                     
                also sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 25 and 26 over Farros                    
                ‘810 and Farros ‘686.                                                                         
                      With respect to claims 27 and 28, Appellants challenge the                              
                Examiner’s position by relying on the same arguments presented for claim 1.                   
                For the same reasons addressed above regarding the rejection of claim 1, we                   
                sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 27 and 28 over Farros ‘686                    
                and Farros ‘810.                                                                              
                      Turning next to the rejection of claims 29, 30, and 32-39, in addition                  
                to relying on the same arguments discussed above, Appellants argue that the                   
                “authentication service,” recited in claim 31, is not obvious based on known                  
                security techniques (Br. 21).   Although this argument belongs to the                         
                rejection of claims 31 and 42 over Farros ‘810 and Farros ‘686 in view of                     
                Gralla (Br. 23), we point to the Examiner’s reliance on Gralla and observe                    
                that the Examiner properly presented Gralla as the evidence supporting the                    
                obviousness of the use of authentication service.  Therefore, we sustain both                 
                the rejection of claims 29, 30, and 32-39 over Farros ‘810 and Farros ‘686                    
                and the rejection of claims 31 and 42 over Farros ‘810 and Farros ‘686 in                     
                view of Gralla.                                                                               
                      Similarly, in addressing the rejection of the remaining claims,                         
                Appellants rely on the same arguments addressed above with respect to                         



                                                      7
