Appeal 2007-0264
Application 09/986,248
ANALYSIS
1. ANTICIPATION
The Examiner properly found that Halpern anticipates the claimed
invention. We find that Halpern’s packager, when used in the batch
processing mode in collaboration with the client system, will automatically
run the self-extracting executable file to unpack and decompress the
software components that the client had selected. Such a finding is
reasonable since when the packager is operating in the batch mode, it
delivers the self-extractable executable file in the client without any user
intervention (i.e. “automatically”). After considering the entire record
before us, we find that the Examiner did not err in rejecting claims 1 and 2
over Halpern. We also find that the Examiner did not err in rejecting claims
3, 13 through 15, 25 and 26 over Halpern.
2. OBVIOUSNESS
The Examiner properly found that Halpern’s teaching of packing a
plurality objects in a single message for transferring a packed response from
a server to a client via a packetization protocol would lead one of ordinary
skill in the art to send a packed request from the client to the server. The
ordinarily skilled artisan would have readily recognized that transferring a
packed message results in greater efficiency than sending the objects
