                Appeal 2007-0278                                                                              
                Application 10/042,047                                                                        
                      713, which would be used to decrypt the following packets, and                          
                      so on. Rule 710 could additionally release Cryptographic Key                            
                      716, corresponding to Organization Stream 52, which                                     
                      corresponds to video without advertisements.                                            
                (Shamoon, ¶ 0102).                                                                            
                      Therefore, we find that the language of the claim (i.e., wherein                        
                multiple offers are defined by a non-URL descriptive portion of a script                      
                header to the web page content) broadly but reasonably reads on Shamoon’s                     
                Rule 710 in the manner argued by the Examiner, i.e., where Rule 710                           
                corresponds to “a non-URL descriptive portion of a script header” and                         
                “Controlled Streams 49-53” correspond to “the web page content” (see                          
                Shamoon Fig. 7, see also instant claim 22).  Accordingly, we will sustain the                 
                Examiner’s rejection of dependent claim 22 as being anticipated by                            
                Shamoon.                                                                                      
                                          Claims 30, 38, 41, and 42                                           
                      We consider next the Examiner’s rejection of dependent claims 30,                       
                38, 41, and 42 as being anticipated by Shamoon.                                               
                      Appellants argue that claims 30, 38, 41, and 42 should be allowed for                   
                the same reasons previously argued for independent claims 27 and 35, from                     
                which these claims depend (Br. 11).                                                           
                      We note that Appellants have not presented any substantive                              
                arguments directed separately to the patentability of dependent claims 30,                    
                38, 41, and 42 .  In the absence of a separate argument with respect to the                   
                dependent claims, those claims stand or fall with the representative                          
                independent claim.  See In re Young, 927 F.2d 588, 590, 18 USPQ2d 1089,                       
                1091 (Fed. Cir. 1991).  See also 37 C.F.R. § 41.37(c)(1)(vii)(2004).
