             Appeal 2007-0728                                                                                   
             Application 09/954,796                                                                             

        1    12. The Examiner admits that Parthesarathy alone does not show an alternative                      
        2          selection in response to receipt of a user selection that identifies a software              
        3          program the user already possesses (Answer 18).                                              
        4    13. The Examiner has provided no support for a rejection of claim 19 over                          
        5          Parthesarathy alone.                                                                         
        6    14. Thus, we cannot say that Parthesarathy alone shows an alternative selection                    
        7          in response to receipt of a user selection that identifies a software program                
        8          the user already possesses.                                                                  
        9    15. Parthesarathy shows a software application querying a user whether the user                    
        10         wants to load a new software update now, later, or never (Parthesarathy, col.                
        11         6, ll. 15-20).                                                                               
        12 16. To accomplish is to complete5.12                                                                                                     
        13   17. To load a new software update is to complete the updating of the software,                     
        14         or to accomplish the updating.                                                               
        15   18. Thus, Parthesarathy shows querying a user as to what the user wants to                         
        16         accomplish.                                                                                  
        17   19. Parthesarathy shows that if the user wants to accomplish a software update,                    
        18         the software update is loaded (Parthesarathy, col. 6, ll. 23-26).                            
        19   20. Thus, Parthesarathy shows providing software programs based upon the user                      
        20         responses.                                                                                   



                                                                                                               
             5 See supra, note 3.                                                                               
                                                       9
