Appeal 2007-0437 Application 09/982,224 remarks in the paragraph bridging pages 22 and 23 of the Answer are well- stated because it was well known in the art that transmission of data between different computer systems utilizing a common server lends itself to the use of this language. After all, HTML was also well known to be used in the internet as a form of mark-up language to communicate between clients and servers. As to the object identifier feature of dependent claim 10, we are satisfied that the Examiner provided sufficient evidence of this capability by our earlier noted reference to the teachings at the top of column 4 of Kumar with respect to its graphical object identifier. As to claim 11, the teachings identified at columns 3 and 4 of Kumar clearly indicate the ability of his system to operate on 3-D data. Lastly, the collaboration palette of claim 16 merely broadly provides information relating to collaborators in a collaboration session. This is clearly depicted in figure 6 and figures 7A, 7B of Brown. In view of the foregoing the decision of the Examiner rejecting all claims on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed. 7Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next
