                    Appeal 2007-0264                                                                                                       
                    Application 09/986,248                                                                                                 
                            automatically unpacking the plurality of objects contained in the                                              
                    response message.                                                                                                      
                    First, Appellants contend that Halpern does not anticipate claims 1                                                    
                    through 3, 13 through 15, 25 and 26.  Particularly, Appellants contend that                                            
                    Halpern does not fairly teach or suggest automatically unpacking a plurality                                           
                    of objects in a response message. (Br. 14-15; Reply Br. 5).  Second,                                                   
                    Appellants contend that claims 4 through 10, 16 through 23, 27 through 29,                                             
                    31 and 32 would not have been obvious over Halpern alone or in                                                         
                    combination with Feinman.1  Particularly, Appellants contend that Halpern                                              
                    does not teach a packet request. (Br. 16).  Further, Appellants contend that                                           
                    the combination of Halpern and Feinman does not teach outputting or                                                    
                    presenting unpacked objects in the order indicated in the response message.                                            
                    Therefore, Halpern alone or in combination with Feinman would not have                                                 
                    rendered claims 4 through 10, 16 through 23, 27 through 29, 31 and 32                                                  
                    unpatentable.   (Br. 19-20).                                                                                           
                    The Examiner contends that Halpern’s batch processing of a self-                                                       
                    extracting executable file received at the client computer corresponds to                                              

                                                                                                                                          
                            1 This decision considers only those arguments that Appellants                                                 
                    submitted in the Appeal and Reply Briefs.  Arguments that Appellants could
