                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.                                         
                                                      2
