                Appeal 2006-0272                                                                              
                Application 10/024,964                                                                        
                                             THE REJECTION                                                    
                      The following rejection is on appeal before us:                                         
                      1. Claims 1, 2, 5-11, 14-18, and 21-26 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.                   
                         § 102(e) as being anticipated by Brown.                                              
                      Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants or the Examiner, we                      
                make reference to the Briefs and the Answer for the respective details                        
                thereof.                                                                                      
                                                 OPINION                                                      
                      Only those arguments actually made by Appellants have been                              
                considered in this decision.  It is our view, after consideration of the record               
                before us, that the evidence relied upon supports the Examiner’s rejection of                 
                the claims on appeal.  Accordingly, we affirm.                                                

                                        Independent Claims 1 and 17                                           
                      We consider first the Examiner’s rejection of independent claims 1                      
                and 17 as being anticipated by Brown.                                                         
                      Appellants argue Brown does not disclose the following limitations:                     
                      redacting unauthorized portions of the requested document by                            
                      visually blurring the unauthorized portions and transmitting the                        
                      redacted version of the requested document to the source of the                         
                      request.                                                                                
                (Claim 1, emphasis added).                                                                    

                      Appellants argue an artisan would not consider the above claim                          
                language as broadly encompassing using a web browser to display a                             
                [redacted] document to a user, as interpreted by the Examiner in the Answer.                  


                                                      3
