Application 09/993,277
1 13. Web mail, which relies on a web server, is a notoriously old and well
2 known mechanism for generating email at a computer, as argued by the
3 Examiner (Answer 5). Also, a relay email server as shown in Tarbotton
4 is a web server in that it serves the distribution of internet web traffic.
5 14. Similarly, a default server, being a server that is employed if no alternate
6 routing is employed, is notoriously old and well known (Answer 5).
7 Also, Miloslavsky requires that all email to be routed using its criteria go
8 through one server to perform the data extraction. Such a server would
9 be a default server.
10 15. Thus, a person of ordinary skill in the art would have immediately
11 envisioned web mail as a mechanism for generating the email in
12 Miloslavsky, and thus routing from a web server.
13 16. Similarly, a person of ordinary skill in the art would have immediately
14 envisioned a default mail server as a mechanism for generating the email
15 in Miloslavsky, and thus routing from a web server.
16 17. Further, whether the server is a web server or default server does not
17 functionally affect the method steps that are claimed in claims 1-14.
18 18. Miloslavsky’s criteria for selecting the appropriate recipient suggests
19 using the language, country or location to apply the criteria, because
20 language skills and availability are dependent upon language, country
21 and location.
