Application 09/881,502
the user is once again registered as online (col. 9, ll. 3-9). The pending
events are further checked upon receiving notification of the user’s online
status (col. 7, ll. 21-26).
Therefore, although the messages, instead of deferral, may be
redirected to the user’s proxy when the user is offline, Aravamudan provides
for alternate rules that would direct the CSP to hold the important events in
abeyance or defer them to another time when the user is online again. Based
on our findings above, we agree with the Examiner that Aravamudan teaches
the recited features and prima facie anticipates the claimed subject matter in
the independent claim 1 and dependent claims 2-20, argued together with
their base claim. Accordingly, the 35 U.S.C. § 102 rejection of claims 1-20
is sustained.
