`
`REMARKS
`
`AMENDMENTS TO THE SPECIFICATION
`
`The Examiner requested that the Applicant update the status of the related applications
`
`on the first page of the specification. See Ofiice Action, 1. The Applicant has provided
`
`the requested information through an amendment to the specification.
`
`35 U.s.c. §103(A) REJECTION
`
`The Examiner rejects claims 1-5, 7-13, 15-17, 53-59, 72-79 and 83-85 under 35 U.S.C.
`
`103(a) as being unpatentable over Rogers et al. (U.S. patent number 5,793,964). See Ofiice
`
`Action, 2. The Applicant respectfully disagrees in that the Rogers reference fails to
`
`disclose an object that is a transactional data structure specific to a transactional web
`
`application. Rogers also fails to disclose a service network operating atop the World
`
`Wide Web. Rogers finally fails to disclose complete, non-deferred, real-time
`
`transactions.
`
`Independent claim 1 recites the step of ‘receiving a transactional request for access to
`
`multimedia content, the transactional request received from a multimedia user, wherein
`
`the transactional request includes an object that is a transactional data structure
`
`specific to a transactional web application.’ As noted above, Rogers fails to disclose an
`
`‘object that is a transactional data structure’ as that term is understood in the ’185 Patent
`
`application—a data structure specific to a Web application. While pending claims are
`
`given their ”broadest reasonable interpretation” during patent prosecution, that
`
`interpretation, however, must be ”consistent with the specification” and construed
`
`”interpreted [as] by one of ordinary skill in the art.” Phillips 0. AWH Corp, 415 F.3d
`
`1303, 1316 (Fed. Cir. 2005); In re Am. Acad. of Sci. Tech. Ctr., 367 F.3d 1359, 1364 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2004); In re Cortright, 165 F.3d 1353, 1359 (Fed. Cir.1999); MPEP § 2111. The Rules of
`
`11
`
`421
`
`421
`
`

`
`Patent Practice require claims to ”conform to the invention as set forth in the remainder
`
`of the specification” and that ”the meaning of the terms in the claims .
`
`.
`
`. be ascertainable
`
`by reference to the description.” 37 C.F.R. § 1.75(d)(1). The Applicant respectfully
`
`submits that similar words do not equate to similar concepts. The Examiner's application
`
`of Rogers against the claims of the ’185Application requires adoption of an
`
`interpretation of the claims that is inconsistent with the specification and that would E
`
`have been adopted by one of ordinary skill in the art.
`
`Rogers disclose ’image objects 30, 31, 32, 33, 34.’ See 964:9:67; Fig. 2. Said objects do not
`
`constitute an encapsulation of data into a ’transactional data structure specific to a
`
`transactional web application’ as is the ’object’ that is recited in independent claim 1 of
`
`the present application. Rogers’ ’object’ is not a ’transactional data structure’ much less
`
`one that is specific to a non—existent transactional web application. Rogers, therefore,
`
`cannot meet this or any of the limitations in claim 1 that relate to an ’object’ or
`
`transactional data structure specific to a transactional web application, including the
`
`final step of claim 1, which involves the ’routing of the transactional data structure.’
`
`Independent claim 1 also recites ’providing .
`
`.
`
`. requested multimedia content .
`
`.
`
`. in a
`
`service network atop the World Wide Web, and as part of a complete, non-deferred,
`
`and real—time transaction.’ Rogers wholly fails to disclose a complete, non-deferred,
`
`real—time transaction. Rogers also fails disclose any transaction—much less one that is
`
`complete, non-deferred, and occurring in real—time—that occurs in a service network
`
`atop the World Wide Web. The Examiner's rejection (as does Rogers) fails to distinguish
`
`between the physical Internet and the claimed ”service network,” which may operate
`
`”atop a facilities network” such as the physical Internet, Web, email networks, or other
`
`IP—based facilities networks. Rogers concerns little more than the display, in a Web
`
`browser, of pie charts and reports. Such graphic displays are unrelated to transactional
`
`data structures specific to a transactional Web application and routing in a service
`
`network atop the World Wide Web. Rogers utilizes CGI and stripping field—by—field
`
`12
`
`422
`
`422
`
`

`
`from a Web form with each field being sent one at a time as standard I/O, which was
`
`previously disclaimed in parent application and now U.S. Patent number 5,778,178 at
`
`’178:1:65—2:31.
`
`The Examiner states that ”[c]laims 10-13, 15-17, 53-59 are similar in scope as that of
`
`claims 1-5 and 7-9" are similarly rejected. Ofiice Action, 4. To the extent that Rogers fails
`
`to anticipate or render obvious claims 1-5 and 7-9, claims 10-13, 15-17, 53-59 are likewise
`
`novel and non-obvious per the Examiner's stated logic.
`
`Claims 72-79 and 83-85
`
`Rogers does not anticipate nor render obvious independent claim 72, because Rogers
`
`does not disclose or teach a transactional Web application, much less a banking Web
`
`application that is transactional, complete, non-deferred, and operating in real-time in a
`
`service network atop the World Wide Web.
`
`13
`
`423
`
`423
`
`

`
`CONCLUSION
`
`The Rogers reference fails to disclose an object that is a transactional data structure
`
`specific to a transactional web application. Rogers also fails to disclose a service
`
`network operating atop the World Wide Web. Rogers finally fails to disclose complete,
`
`non—deferred, real—time transactions. In light of the foregoing, Rogers fails to disclose
`
`any of the independent claims of the present application. Rogers similarly fails to
`
`disclose the completely claimed subject matter of any dependent claim for at least the
`
`same reasons as the independent claim from which said claim depends. The present
`
`application is believed to be in condition for allowance. The Examiner is invited to
`
`contact the undersigned with any questions concerning the present response.
