11 ISSUES
12 The Examiner finds that Schneider discloses a system for automating the
13 recordation of a property transfer that shows an Internet server; a communications
14 link between said Internet server and the Internet; at least one database containing
15 a plurality of information records accessible by said Internet server, each
16 information record including an intellectual property identification number; and
17 software executing on said Internet server for receiving a transfer request
18 indicative of a transfer of rights to the property.
19 The Examiner finds that Schneider does not explicitly disclose software for
20 querying said database of information records to retrieve an information record that
21 corresponds to a transfer request. Similarly, the Examiner finds that Schneider
22 does not explicitly disclose software for querying a database of recordation forms
23 to retrieve a recordation form corresponding to a transfer request and for
24 combining the retrieved information record with the retrieved recordation form to
25 generate a document as claimed.
