                Application 09/733,596                                                                       

                      Appellant’s invention relates to a distributed web common gateway                      
                interface (CGI) architecture and a method for the distribution of data files in              
                a distributed organization.  In the words of the Appellant:                                  
                                   The distributed web common gateway                                        
                            interface architecture includes a primary network                                
                            having a primary server.  A database                                             
                            communicates with the primary server.  A plurality                               
                            of secondary networks are provided, with at least                                
                            one secondary server in the secondary network                                    
                            (Specification 2: 3-8).                                                          
                                   A method for the distribution of data files in                            
                            a distributed organization is provided.  The                                     
                            distributed organization has a plurality of networks                             
                            that communicate with a primary server, and each                                 
                            network has a web browser running on it.  The                                    
                            method involves the steps of (1) entering a URL of                               
                            a data management system for a primary server in                                 
                            a web browser; (2) entering user information; (3)                                
                            entering metadata for a data file to be transferred                              
                            to the primary server; (4) validating the data file at                           
                            the secondary server; (5) correcting errors                                      
                            responsive to a failed validation; (6) releasing the                             
                            validated data file; (7) transferring the validated                              
                            data file to the primary server; and (8) storing the                             
                            data files in the primary server (Specification 2:                               
                            17-25).

                            interface architecture, comprising:                                              
                                   a primary network having a single primary                                 
                            server for processing validated files;
