                    Appeal 2007-0264                                                                                                       
                    Application 09/986,248                                                                                                 
                    individually.  Thus, the packed message approach, as taught by Halpern,                                                
                    would allow selected software components at the client to all be received at                                           
                    the server at the same time, and without delay.                                                                        
                            Further, the Examiner properly found that the combination of Halpern                                           
                    and Feinman would lead one of ordinary skill in the art to output or display                                           
                    the unpacked objects in a specified order.  The ordinarily skilled artisan                                             
                    would have readily recognized, as taught by Feinman, as objects in a                                                   
                    received message are sequentially being unpacked and decompressed, the                                                 
                    client would save time by immediately processing and displaying them in                                                
                    the order that they appear in the message.                                                                             
                            After considering the entire record before us, we find that the                                                
                    Examiner did not err in rejecting claims 4 through 10, 16 through 23, 27                                               
                    through 29, 31 and 32 over the combination of Halpern taken alone or in                                                
                    combination with Feinman.                                                                                              

                                                        CONCLUSION OF LAW                                                                  

                    On the record before us, Halpern’s disclosure anticipates the claimed                                                  
                    invention under 35 U.S.C. § 102 (e) when Halpern teaches that the client                                               
                    processes in batch mode a self-extracting executable file received from the                                            
                    server in response to a request.  Further, one of ordinary skill in the art at the
