                Appeal 2007-1241                                                                             
                Application 09/794,486                                                                       

                originator’s vault 216 as being part of the document repository, which is                    
                separated from the document originator (client) 200 by a network connection                  
                208.  Figure 2 makes it clear that all elements of the document repository                   
                system are located remotely from the client, including the document                          
                originator’s vault 216, the application server vault 220, the application                    
                server 210 and the database 212 (see also col. 5, ll. 47-56).  Appellant’s                   
                remaining arguments all rest on the premise that the document originator’s                   
                vault is located on the client side, and are not persuasive for the reasons                  
                discussed above.                                                                             
                      In summary, we sustain the Examiner’s rejections of claims 1-4, 6 and                  
                8 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e).  We also sustain the Examiner’s separate                         
                rejections of claims 5, 7, 9-13 and 15-23 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).  The                     
                rejections of these claims encompass all claims on appeal, and all rejections                
                are affirmed. Therefore, the decision of the Examiner is affirmed.
