`
`REMARKS
`
`Applicants thank Examiners Colon and Hafiz for their courtesies extended during the
`March 25, 2003 Examiner Interview. Reconsideration and allowance of the above-referenced
`
`application are respectfully requested. Claims 1-28 are pending. Claims 2-4 and 7—9 have
`
`previously been withdrawn from consideration. Claims 1 and 5 are allowed. Claims 22 and 23
`
`are objected to. Claims 6, 10-14, 16, 22, 23, and 25-27 are canceled without prejudice or
`
`disclaimer by this amendment. Claims 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 24, and 28 are amended by this
`
`amendment. New claims 29 and 30 add further limitations to claim 28. Claims 31 and 32 are
`
`added to replace and further clarify claims 22 and 23 which are objected to.
`
`The Examiner asserts that the terminal disclaimer that was filed on June 6, 2002 is not
`
`accepted because it was not signed. A signed disclaimer, submitted concurrently with this
`
`response, disclaims the terminal portion of the patent granted based on this application that
`
`would extend beyond the expiration date of US. Patent No. 6,334,133. Thus applicants request
`
`that the double patenting rejection be withdrawn.
`
`Claim 14 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. §112, second paragraph, as being indefinite for
`
`failing to particular point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which the applicants regard
`
`as the invention. Claim 14 has been canceled thus mooting the Examiner’s rejection.
`
`Claims 6 and 10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §102(a) as being anticipated by the
`
`SubfinderTM System. Claims 6 and 10 have been canceled thus mooting the Examiner’s
`
`rejection.
`
`Claims 11—21 and 24-27 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §103(a) as being unpatentable
`
`over the SubfinderTM System. Claims 11-14, 16 and 25-27 have been canceled thus mooting the
`
`Examiner’s rejection. Claims 15, 17-21 and 24 have been amended to depend on claims 31 and
`
`32, respectively, which replace objected claims 22 and 23, respectively,
`
`thus mooting the
`
`Examiner’s rejection.
`
`Claim 28 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. §103(a) as being unpatentable over Subfinder
`
`in View of Taylor (US. Patent 5,832,497). The Examiner asserts that:
`
`As per claim 28, Subfinder discloses the substitute fulfillment system of
`claim 12 that enables substitute workers to search for work (reference A, page 1,
`paragraphs 1 and 2; reference B, abstract, page 2, paragraph 24).
`Subfinder does not expressly disclose a website interface coupled to the
`server, the website interface posting a list of positions of absent workers that
`needs to be filled by substitute workers on a website, wherein the list of positions

`
`Attorney Docket No.2 48278.25 8599
`
`
`
`is generated by the server using received information regarding absent workers
`thereby providing an opportunity for substitute workers to search for work.
`Taylor discloses a website interface coupled to the server, the website
`interface posting a list of positions of absent workers that needs to be filled by
`substitute workers on a website, wherein the list of positions is generated by the
`server using received information regarding absent workers thereby providing an
`opportunity for substitute workers to search for work (col. 1, lines 33 ~ 42; col. 2,
`lines 48 - 51; col. 2, line 65 — col. 3, line 19; col. 6, lines 58 — 64; The reference
`discloses posting a list of positions generated from a server on a website and
`allowing work searchers to search through-the list of positions).
`At the time the invention was made, it would have been obvious to a
`person of ordinary skill in the art to utilize a website interface to interact with
`substitute workers searching for work because the Internet provides a convenient
`and globally accessible medium through which users can easily and quickly
`interact (Taylor, col. 2, lines 34 — 39).
`As per claim 23, Taylor discloses the substitute fulfillment system of
`claim 22 wherein the server is further configured to secure a substitute worker in
`response to the substitute worker selecting a posted position via the Internet
`communication link (col. 4, line 63 - col. 5, line 5; col. 5, lines 49 - 62; The
`reference discloses allowing workers to select a posted position by submitting an
`application for that position. The reference further discloses employers reviewing
`submitted applications for particular job postings).
`At the time the invention was made, it would have been obvious to a
`person of ordinary skill in the art to utilize a website interface to interact with
`substitute workers searching for work because the Internet provides a convenient
`and globally accessible medium through which users can easily and quickly
`interact (Taylor, col. 2, lines 34 - 39).
`As per claim 28, Subfinder discloses a method for performing substitute
`fulfillment for a plurality of different organizations comprising:
`receiving absentee information representing an absent worker via at least
`one communication link (reference A, page 1, paragraph 2; Subfinder receives
`absentee information of an absent Worker via a telephone communication);
`generating a list of positions of absent workers that need to be filled by
`substitute workers (reference A, page 1, paragraphs 2 and 3; reference C, page 1,
`paragraph 6; Subfinder automatically identifies potential substitute workers).
`Subfinder does not expressly disclose placing the list of positions on a
`website, receiving a response by a substitute worker selecting a posted position on
`the website via an Internet communication link; and securing via the Internet
`communication link the substitute worker who selected the posted position to fill
`in for the absent worker.
`
`Taylor discloses placing the list of positions on a website, receiving a
`response by a substitute worker selecting a posted position on the website via an
`Internet communication link (col. 4, line 63 - col. 5, line 5; col. 5, lines 49 - 62;

`
`securing via the Internet communication link the substitute Worker who
`selected the posted position to fill in for the absent worker (col. 4, line 63 - col. 5,
`line 5; col. 5, lines 49 - 62; The reference discloses allowing employers to review
`submitted applications for hiring of workers for particular job postings).
`At the time the invention was made, it would have been obvious to a
`person of ordinary skill in the art to utilize a website interface to interact with
`substitute workers searching for work because the Intemet provides a convenient
`and globally accessible medium through which users can easily and quickly
`interact (Taylor, col. 2, lines 34 — 39).
`
`Claim 28 is directed to “A method for performing substitute fulfillment for a plurality of
`
`different organizations comprising:
`
`receiving absentee information representing an absent
`
`worker via at least one communication link; generating and posting a list of one or more
`
`positions of one or more absent workers that need to be filled by one or more substitute workers
`
`on a website; receiving a response by a substitute worker selecting a posted position on the
`
`website via an Internet communication link; and securing via the Internet communication link
`
`the substitute worker who selected the posted position to fill in for the absent worker” as recited
`
`in amended claim 28 (emphasis added).
`
`The Examiner asserts that “Subfmder discloses
`
`generating a list of positions of absent
`
`workers that need to be filled by substitute workers (reference A, page 1, paragraphs 2 and 3;
`
`reference C, page 1, paragraph 6; Subfinder automatically identifies potential substitute
`
`workers.).” These cited sections do not teach or suggest generating a list of one or more
`
`positions of one or more absent workers that need to be filled by one or more substitute workers.
`
`Rather,
`
`these cited sections disclose a system that “begins calling from a list of Qualified
`
`substitutes until the projected absence is filled” (emphasis added, see Reference A, page 1,
`
`paragraph 2). Generating a list of positions of absent workers that need to be filled and
`
`identiffl'ng substitute workers are not the same. By generating a list of positions of absent
`
`workers and posting the list, the method as recited in claim 28 allows potential substitute workers
`
`to secure an available position. In contrast, Subfinder is directed towards a system that fills these
`
`positions by contacting the substitute workers. Thus, Subfinder does not teach or suggest
`
`“generating and posting a list of one or more positions of one or more absent workers that need
`
`to be filled by one or more substitute workers on a website” as recited in claim 28 of the present
`
`application.

`
`FPTOOO1522
`
`

`

`.
`
`
`
`Attorney Docket No.2 48278.258599
`
`Moreover, as admitted by the Examiner, “Subfmder does not expressly disclose
`
`securing via the Internet communication link the substitute worker who selected the posted
`
`position to fill in for the absent worker” but asserts that this step is disclosed by Taylor (col. 4,
`
`line 63 - col. 5, line 5; col. 5, lines 49-62) and asserts that “The reference discloses allowing
`
`employers to review submitted applications for hiring of workers for particular job postings.”
`
`However, Taylor does not teach or suggest this step. The cited sections of Taylor disclose an
`
`authorized user, e.g., a potential employer, retrieving applications for the jobs it has posted on
`
`the system (see col. 4, lines 63-65).
`
`In order to contact a potential employee, the user then
`
`requests the contact information of the potential employee (see col. 6, lines 35-57). Thus, the
`
`employer does not secure a worker but rather retrieves the application and contact information
`
`for the potential employee.
`
`In contrast, the method of claim 28 allows a potential substitute
`
`worker to access a list of one or more positions of one or more absent workers that need to be
`
`filled and secure the position that the substitute worker selects, e.g., the substitute worker is hired
`
`to be a substitute worker for the absent worker. Thus, neither Subfinder nor Taylor, singularly or
`
`in combination, teach or suggest the step of “securing via the Internet communication link the
`
`substitute worker who selected the posted position to fill in for the absent worker” as recited in
`
`claim 28 of the present application.
`
`In addition, the Examiner fails to cite the requisite motivation to support the ultimate
`
`legal conclusion of obviousness under 35 U.S.C. §103. Obviousness is not an abstract concept,
`
`but must stem from the applied prior art as whole and have realistically impelled one having
`
`ordinary skill in the art to modify a specific reference in a specific manner to arrive at a
`
`specifically claimed invention with a reasonable expectation of successfully achieving a
`
`particular benefit. In re Newell, 891 F.2d 899, 13 USPQ2d 1210 (Fed. Cir. 1985). Accordingly,
`
`the Examiner is obliged to identify a source in the applied prior art for (1) claim limitations; and
`
`(2)
`
`the requisite motivation, teaching or suggestion to modify a reference or to combined
`
`references with the reasonable expectation of successfully achieving a particular benefit. Smiths
`
`Industries Medical Systems v. Vital Signs, Inc., 183 F.3d 1347, 51 USPQ2d 1415 (Fed. Cir.
`
`1999). The Examiner does not provide the proper motivation, teach or suggest to combine the
`
`cited art. Therefore, that burden has not been discharged.
`
`Since each reference, Subfinder and Taylor, disclose a complete system, the Examiner
`
`needs to identify the proper motivation for combining the references. Specifically, the Examiner
`
`-10_
`
`"531.1301 168709.1
`
`.
`
`D
`
`FPTOOO1523
`
`

`

`.
`
`
`
`Attorney Docket No.: 48278.258599
`
`fails to provide proper motivation for combining the teachings of Subflnder with the website
`
`interface of Taylor. Recognizing after the fact that such a modification Would provide an
`
`improvement or advantage, without suggestion thereof by the prior art in an indication of
`improper application of hindsight considerations which is not proper criteria for resolving
`obviousness.
`
`The Examiner asserts that “At the time the invention was made, it would have been
`
`obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art to utilize a website interface to interact with
`
`substitute workers searching for work because the Internet provides a convenient and globally
`
`accessible medium through which users can easily and quickly interact (Taylor, col. 2, lines 34—
`
`39).” This is not proper motivation but is improper use of hindsight.
`
`Thus, for at least these reasons, claim 28, as well as dependent claims 29 and 30 are
`
`patentable over Subfinder in view of Taylor. As a result, the applicants request that the rejection
`
`of claim 28 under 35 U.S.C. §lO3(a) be withdrawn.
`
`The foregoing is submitted as a full and complete Response to the Office Action mailed
`
`19 February 2003, and early and favorable consideration of the claims is requested.

`
`Examiner believes any inforrnalities remain in the application which may be corrected by
