           Appeal 2007-1305                                                                       
           Application 09/725,394                                                                 

       1      The Examiner resolves this deficiency by finding that Fucarile shows: software      
       2   for querying said database of information records to retrieve an information record    
       3   corresponding to a transfer request; for querying said database of recordation forms   
       4   to retrieve a recordation form corresponding to said transfer request, and for         
       5   combining the retrieved information record with the retrieved recordation form to      
       6   generate a document.                                                                   
       7      The Examiner contends that each of these references suggests the other              
       8   because they can be adapted to hold license records (recordation form) and receive     
       9   and store access information such as the number of accesses and user information,      
       10  and the license server can then generate usage reports that can be used to determine   
       11  licensing requirements.  Therefore, the Examiner concludes that it would have          
       12  been obvious to a person of ordinary skill to combine the teachings of Fucarile        
       13  with the teachings of Schneider to reach the claimed subject matter.  (Answer 3-5).    
       14     The Appellant contends that                                                         
       15     • Neither Schneider nor Fucarile teach, disclose, or suggest software executing     
       16        on the Internet server for querying the database of information records to       
       17        retrieve an information record corresponding to a transfer request, for          
       18        querying the database of recordation forms to retrieve a recordation form        
       19        corresponding to the transfer request, and for combining the retrieved           
       20        information record with the retrieved recordation form to generate a transfer    
       21        document (Br. 7-10);                                                             
       22     • Neither Schneider nor Fucarile teach, disclose or suggest software executing      
       23        on said Internet server for receiving a transfer request indicative of a transfer
       24        of rights to the property (Br. 10-11);                                           


                                                4
