Appeal 2007-0914
Application 09/904,734
Microsystems for the purpose of extracting the locale from an HTTP
request. The admitted prior art does not include (a) using that API to extract
the locale if the “Content-Type” header does not contain a code-set
identifier, as required by the claim, or (b) associating the thus-extracted
locale with a character set, as also required by the claim. Instead,
paragraph 35 attributes the use of the API in this manner to Appellants’
computer program 110. I also disagree with the majority’s statement
that “[i]n the context of these admissions [in paragraphs 8, 9, and 35], it is
implicit to translate server locales to a character set, particularly in view of
the recognition in paragraph 9 of the Specification that it is known to select a
character set when the Content-Type header fails to specify a character set.”
Supra pp. 5-6. Paragraphs 8 and 9 do not cure the above-noted deficiencies
of paragraph 35. That is, they do not indicate that it was known to (a) use
the Sun Microsystems API or any other locale-extracting software to extract
the locale if the “Content-Type” header does not contain a code-set identifier
or (b) to associate the thus-extracted locale with a character set.
