`
`REMARKS
`
`AppJicants appreciate the thorough review of the present application as indicated by
`
`the Office Action. Independent method Claim 15 and corresponding system and computer
`
`program product Claims 20 and 22 have be::en amended above lo clarity that the target station
`
`is an on-demand server and that the file packet is distributed to "make the application
`
`program available for use by a user at a client,'' as described, for example, at page 28, lines 3.
`
`4 of th.e present application. ln addition, dependent Claims 17, 25 and 29 have been amended
`
`lo clarify that the call to the import program executing on the target on-demand server fa "to
`
`install and register the file packet associated with the application program on the target on(cid:173)
`
`demand server in a manner that makes it recognized and available lo the user at the client."
`
`Such recitations are described in the present ap1>lication, for example, at page 28, lines 3-4.
`
`New Claims 32 to 37 have been added, \Vhich include additional recitations, support for
`
`which is found generally at pages 28-33 of the present application.
`
`Applicants submit that the claims as amended are patentable over the cited art.
`
`Accordingly, Applicants request entry of this amendment and passing of this application to
`
`issuance,
`
`Independent Claims t 5, 20 and 22 stand r~jected under 35 U .S.C. § 103 over United
`
`States Patent No. 6,202,206 to Dean et al. ("Dean") in v.iew of United States Patent No.
`
`5,867,713 to Shrader et al. ("Shrader"). Office. Action, p. 2. The remaining claims stand
`
`rejected as obvious over Dean and Shrader in combination with one or more of United States
`
`Patent No. 5,996,012 to Jarriel (".Jarriel") and United St.ates Patent No. 6,611,498 to Baker et
`at. ("Baker'').
`
`The Independent Claims Are Pateutable Over the Cited Art:
`
`Independent method Claim 15 recites:
`
`A method for distribution of application programs to a target on-demand
`sei·ver on a network comprising the steps executed on a centralized network
`management server coupled to the network of:
`providing an appJication program to be distributed to the network
`management server;

`application program;
`preparing a file packet associated with the application program and
`including a segment configured to initiate registration operations for the
`applicatjon program at the target on-demand sen,er; and
`distributing the file packet to the target on-demand server to make the
`application program available for use by a user at a client.
`
`Independent syslem and computer program product Claims 20 and 22 contain corresponding
`
`recitations. Applicants submit that at least the highlighted portions of C laim 15 are not
`
`disclosed or suggested by the cited p.rior art.
`
`As is clear from the highlighted recitations of Claim 15, the claimed embodiments of
`
`C laim I 5 are directed to distribution of application programs from a network mauagement
`
`computer to on-demand server(s) and to registering the application programs at the on(cid:173)
`
`demand server(s) so that they will be available to users access~g the programs from client
`
`computers:.
`
`The cited portions of Dean relied on in the rejection of Claims 15, 20 and 22 read as
`
`follows:
`
`The present invention uses the data files and other information developed during
`the preliminary processing which involved the primary server computer alone as
`covered by those two copending patent applications. The primary server loads all
`of the selected application programs onto their-respective server and client
`computers and completes the network configuration under the control of the
`profile data file which is stored in the primary server computer. All of the selected
`programs to be installed throughout the n etwork of server and client computers
`are first loaded into the primary server computer. Then, there is run the sequence
`of the keystroke and cursor entries require-cl to install said selected components
`and programs on said server and client ,computers as recorded in a data file
`representative of said sequence of entries stored in said primary server computer.
`As a result, the programs and components are automatically loaded into the
`respective server and client computers in said network requiring said programs
`and components. The programs thus distributed include the operating systems for
`the
`
`Dean, C<>l. 2, lines 50-67); and
`
`Accordingly, the copending Dean et al. application covers the general concept of
`making all of the entries for installations for all of the computers in the network
`th.rough a primary server so that all of the network installations are under the
`control of the primary server. These are recorded and s tored as keystrokes and

`
`cursor selections in a data file profile as covered in the copending Bezanson et al.
`patent application, which is subsequently used. lo control the configuration of the
`network and installations and settings on all of the computers in the network. The
`present patent application covers automatically and, wherever possible,
`simultaneously configuring the network and tnaking all installations and settings
`on all of the computers in the network via the primary serv,:r computer based
`upon the previously recorded stored profile wjth application programs which have
`beei1 previously loaded into the primary server computer
`
`(Dean. Col. 5, lines 25-40).
`
`Applicants submit that, while there is a discussion of distribution of applic.ation
`
`programs from a primary server computer to clients and servers in these sections, there is no
`
`discussion of providing a file packet to target on-demand servers to initiate .registration
`
`operations to make an application program available to a user at a client. Similarly, the
`
`secondary references contain no such disclosure or suggestion. Accordingly, the rejections of
`
`independent Claims 15, 20 and 22 should be withdrawn for at least these reasons.
`
`The De.pendent Claims:
`
`Each of the dependent claims is patentable at least based on the patent ability of the
`independent claim from which. it depends as discussed above. In addition, various of the
`
`dependent claims are separately patentable. For example, contrary to the assertion in the
`
`Office Action, none of the references disclose or suggest the import program and registration
`
`operations for making an application program .available on a target on-demand server so that
`
`it is "recognized and available to the user at the client" as recited in Claims 17, 25 and 29.
`
`With respect to Claims 18, 26 and. 30, Applicants submit that, while the secondary references
`
`may disclose some of the utilized terms of these claims. they fail to disc1ose the particulars of
`
`the recited use of a URL for registration of an application program and insertion of an
`
`identification in a variable 6e1d of the segrnent of the file packet configured to initiate the
`
`registration operations to make the application. program available to a user at a client as
`
`recited in these daims. Each of new Claims 32-37 is also separately patentable based on the
`
`inclusion of recitations therein not found in the cited ptior art. Accordingly, the dependent
`
`claims are also separately patentable and should be allowed for at least these additional
