Appeal 2007-0352 Application 09/996,130 As representative of the disclosed and claimed invention, independent claim 1 is reproduce below: 1. Method of allocating data objects stored on a server system comprising: providing at least one user group; determining tag information for the data objects; determining at least one group interest for the user group; determining whether the tag information corresponds to the group interest, and if there is correspondence, placing data objects including tag information of said group interest into a server cache. The following references are relied on by the Examiner: Herz1 US 6,029,195 Feb. 22, 2000 Jacobs US 6,789,170 B1 Sep. 7, 2004 (Filed Aug. 4, 2001) Claims 1 through 21 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of obviousness, the Examiner relies upon Herz in view of Jacobs. Rather than repeat the positions of the Appellants and the Examiner, reference is made to the Brief and Reply Brief for Appellants’ positions, and to the Answer for the Examiner’s positions. 1 Page 3 of the Answer incorrectly listed the patent number of the Herz patent as 6,789,170, which is the corresponding patent number of Jacobs. Consistent with the Final Rejection and the Brief, the Statement of The Grounds of Rejection beginning at the bottom of page 3 of the Answer correctly lists the patent number as indicated above. 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Next
