Appeal 2007-0349
Application 09/862,355
Claims 14-16
Issue
The issue is whether determining whether to grant a request to
establish a new session between a user and a proxy server in Sitaraman
based on a "group identification such as a domain identification
corresponding to a group of users" anticipates the following limitations of
claim 14:
a log memory . . . relating to sessions between said server
process and any client process; and a session monitor associated
with said server process to determine from said log information
whether to grant a request to establish a new session from said
client process and limit a number of sessions active between the
server process and the client process to a predetermined
threshold value.
Analysis
Sitaraman maintains a log of the number of sessions for members of a
"group of users." It does not maintain a log "relating to sessions between
said server process and any client process" and does not "determine from
said log information whether to grant a request to establish a new session
from said client process and limit a number of sessions active between the
server process and the client process to a predetermined threshold value."
Even if we accept the Examiner's interpretation that a "user" is a "client
process," which we do not, Sitaraman does not limit the number of sessions
between the user and the server: it limits the number of sessions for a "group
