address may be entered by utilizing these hot-links appearing on a given
displayed page or through selection among stored bookmarks or direct
keyboard entry approaches similar to the disclosed invention. Prefetched
pages are stored in a cache memory such as shown as element 656 in figure
6. The middle of column 21 through parts of column 24 discusses figures 5
and 6, the latter figure of which shows the well-known browser mentioned
earlier.
Of particular significance is the discussion at column 40 with respect
to figures 15A, 15B relied upon by the Examiner. Appellants’ arguments
beginning at page 8 of the principal Brief on appeal do not reflect the
consideration of any of these teachings or the Examiner’s reliance upon
these and other portions of Horvitz. The allegations of the failure of Horvitz
to teach certain claimed features are misplaced because, as the Examiner
notes in the middle paragraph at page 6 of the Answer, this reference does
teach at column 40 the bulk of the features alleged to have been taught there.
These include the ability to jump forward or backward to specific pages that
have been rendered after or before the current page, the ability to click an
icon to jump to an identified web-page such as by a link, the ability to use a
favorite icon to access one or more user favorite pages, the identification of
a history file which is stated to be selectable through a main command
category such as Go or tool bar functionalities such as File, Edit, Go and
Favorites. Appellants’ remarks in the Reply Brief in turn do not to address
any of the identified teachings at column 40 outlined by the Examiner and
identified in the responsive arguments portion of the Answer at page 6.
