Appeal 2007-0039
Application 09/799,413
The rejection as presented by the Examiner is as follows:
1. Claims 1-47 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being
unpatentable over Ferrel.
ISSUE
Under 35 U.S.C § 103(a), with respect to appealed claims 1-47, would
one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the invention have found it
obvious to modify Ferrel to render the claimed invention unpatentable?
FINDINGS OF FACT
The following findings of fact (FF) are relevant to the issues involved
in the appeal and are believed to be supported by a preponderance of the
evidence.
1. Ferrel relates to a method and apparatus for publishing
documents on a computer system which are used to; for example, create
newsletters or brochures to promote a particular company. In addition,
publications can be used to disseminate information to a variety of
customers (col. 1, ll. 21-27). Specifically, Ferrel relates a new authoring
system for creating on-line stories (col. 3, ll. 47-48).
2. Ferrel further discloses a method of publishing structured
documents in a computer network comprising publisher, server, and
customer computers comprising creating tagged content and storing a
plurality of tagged objects representative of the tagged content in a
document in the publisher computer (col. 4, ll. 6-12).
