(Answer 9), so one would not normally assume the HTML page is dynamic
in the absence of a specific mention of "dynamic."
The Examiner finds that "processing video and audio to extract
metadata associated with the presentation" corresponds to hyperlinks for
hypermedia documents to video and audio. We find no disclosure or
suggestion that the content server 52 or any other element performs
processing to extract metadata. "Metadata" is data about data. Links are
data and, in any case, the links are not "extracted" by "processing."
The Examiner finds that "encoding the video, audio and metadata in a
predetermined video format" is inherently done to be suitable for
transmission. While we agree that what is transmitted is inherently encoded,
there is no disclosure or suggestion of encoding "metadata."
The limitations of "integrating" and "transmitting" are likewise not
clearly supported by Burns. Nagai is cited for teaching converting dynamic
HTML pages into static HTML pages. Assuming this is true, this does not
cure the deficiencies of Burns with respect to the other limitations.
For these reasons, the rejection does not establish a prima facie case
of obviousness. The rejection of claims 3 and 4 is reversed.
Omoigui, which is applied to the rejection of claim 5, does not cure
the deficiency of the rejection over Burns and Nagai. The rejection of
claim 5 is reversed.
