Appeal 2007-1271 Application 10/005,583 More particularly, we decide the following issues we have determined are dispositive in deciding this appeal: 1. Whether Kuwata discloses receiving a scan request from a user browser. 2. Whether Kuwata discloses receiving selections made with the user browser. 3. Whether Kuwata discloses uploading a control screen to the user browser. 4. Whether Kuwata discloses uploading an application to the user browser. 5. Whether Kuwata discloses the receiving, uploading, and scanning are all performed by a scanning device. 6. Whether or Dance or Somashekar teaches or suggests uploading a control screen to a user browser. 7. Whether a person of ordinary skill in the art having common sense at the time of the invention would have been motivated to employ Somashekar’s embedded server in Kuwata’s system given that Kuwata’s scanning control component is an actual server. FINDINGS OF FACT At the outset, we note that the Examiner’s factual findings are not in dispute except with respect to the specific claim limitations argued by Appellant in the Briefs. Only those arguments actually made by Appellant have been considered in this decision. With respect to the anticipation rejection (Kuwata), we note that anticipation is a question of fact.
