                Application No. 09/726,797                                                                        
                       As representative of the disclosed and claimed invention, independent                      
                claim 1 is reproduced below:                                                                      
                       1. A method for conditioning content for presentation at a processing                      
                device, the method comprising the steps of:                                                       
                       determining a content profile associated with the device, the content                      
                profile including at least one operation and parameter for conditioning data                      
                on the device;                                                                                    
                       generating a conditioned document by applying the content profile to                       
                a requested document containing content for presentation at the device;                           
                       determining a stylesheet associated with the device; and                                   
                       applying the stylesheet to the conditioned document to generate an                         
                output suitable for presentation at the device.                                                   
                       The following references are relied on by the Examiner:                                    
                Robotham   US 6,704,024 B2  Mar.  9, 2004                                                         
                          (eff. filed dates Aug. 7, 2000 and Oct. 30, 2000)                                       
                Jamtgaard   US 6,430,624 B1  Aug.  6,  2002                                                       
                                                               (filed Feb. 14, 2000)                              
                       All claims on appeal, claims 1 through 18, stand rejected under 35                         
                U.S.C. § 103.  As evidence of obviousness, the Examiner relies upon the                           
                combination of Jamtgaard and Robotham.                                                            
                       Rather than repeat the positions of the Appellants and the Examiner,                       
                reference is made to the Brief (no Reply Brief has been filed) for Appellants’                    
                positions, and to the Answer for the Examiner’s positions.
