`
`possessed by the distinguished home, and wherein the constructed new geographically-
`
`specific home valuation model is applied to altered attributes. (see at least col. 10, lines
`
`20-50 disclosing attributes such as the area of a bathroom or bedroom; col. 12, lines 62-
`
`65 and col. 13, lines 1-20 that disclose the Fusion system that creates a new
`
`evaluation)
`
`Regarding claim 33:
`
`Khedkar teaches that the method of claim 30 wherein adjustment ofthe obtained user
`
`input further includes identifying a scoring of the homes sold in the identified sales
`
`reflecting the relative level of similarity of the sold homes to the distinguished home, and
`
`wherein the constructed new geographically—specific home valuation model emphasizes
`
`the significance of the identified sales in a manner consistent with the identified scoring.
`
`(see at least col. 10, lines 20-50 disclosing attributes such as the area of a bathroom or
`
`bedroom; col. 12, lines 62-65 and col. 13, lines 1-20 that disclose the Fusion system
`
`that creates a new evaluation)
`
`Regarding claim 34:
`
`Khedkar teaches that the method of claim 30, further comprising:
`
`among the identified recent sales of nearby homes regarded as similar to the
`
`distinguished home, determining an average selling price per square foot; (see at least
`
`col. 10 lines 40-50 disclosing square footage)
`
`multiplying the determined average selling price per square foot by the floor area of the
`
`distinguished home to obtain an alternate valuation of the distinguished home; and

`
`

`
`Application/Control Number: 11/347,024
`
`Page 24
`
`Art Unit: 3694
`
`before presenting the refined valuation of the distinguished home, blending into the
`
`refined valuation of the distinguished home the obtained alternate valuation. (see at
`
`least col. 10 lines 40-50 disclosing square footage and col. 13, lines1—20 disclosing the
`
`Fusion system that blends the valuations)
`
`Regarding claim 35:
`
`Khedkar teaches/suggests that the method of claim 30 wherein the constructed new
`
`geographically—specific home valuation model also emphasizes the significance of sales
`
`of homes whose locations are determined to be near the location of the distinguished
`
`home. (see fig. 6 disclosing distance from the house and col. 9 lines 30-55 explaining
`
`various attributes including distance)
`
`Regarding claim 36:
`
`Khedkar teaches that the method of claim 35 further comprising determining that the
`
`location of a home recently sold is near the location of the distinguished home if it has
`
`the same zip code as the distinguished home. (see fig. 6 disclosing distance from the
`
`house and col. 9 lines 30-55 explaining various attributes including distance)
`
`Regarding claim 37:
`
`Khedkar teaches/suggests that the method of claim 35 further comprising determining
`
`that the location of a home recently sold is near the location of the distinguished home if
`
`it has the same neighborhood name as the distinguished home. (see fig. 6 disclosing
`
`0202
`
`0202
`
`

`
`Application/Control Number: 11/347,024
`
`Page 25
`
`Art Unit: 3694
`
`distance from the house and col. 9 lines 30-55 explaining various attributes including
`
`distance)
`
`Thus, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
`
`invention to use Kim to suggest all the features in the claim.
`
`Regarding claim 38:
`
`Khedkar teaches/suggests that the method of claim 30, further comprising:
`
`accessing a floor area attribute of the distinguished home and the nearby
`
`homes whose recent sales were identified, and a selling price for each of the identified
`
`sales; (see at least col. 8 lines 30-55 disclosing other properties)
`
`determining among the identified sales a selling price per square foot metric;
`
`multiplying the obtained selling price per square foot metric by the floor area of the
`
`distinguished home to obtain a product; (see at least col. 10 lines 40-50 disclosing
`
`square footage)and
`
`combining the product with the result to obtain the determined refined
`
`valuation. (see at least col. 9, lines 35-45; col. 10, lines 20-50 disclosing attributes such
`
`as the area of a bathroom or bedroom; col. 12, lines 62-65 and col. 13, lines 1-20 that
`
`disclose the Fusion system that creates a new evaluation)
`
`Regarding claim 39:
`
`Khedkar teaches that the method of claim 35 further comprising determining that the
`
`location of a home recently sold is near the distinguished home if the location of the
`
`0203
`
`0203
`
`

`
`Application/Control Number: 11/347,024
`
`Page 26
`
`Art Unit: 3694
`
`distance between it and the distinguished home is less than a threshold distance. (see
`
`fig. 6 disclosing distance from the house)
`
`Regarding claim 40:
`
`Khedkar teaches that the method of claim 15 wherein the automatic valuation of the
`
`distinguished home involves applying a geographically—specific home valuation model to
`
`attributes indicated by an external data source to be possessed by the distinguished
`
`home, (see at least col. 10, lines 20-50 disclosing attributes such as the area of a
`
`bathroom or bedroom; col. 12, lines 62-65 and col. 13, lines 1-20 that disclose the
`
`Fusion system that creates a new evaluation)
`
`and wherein the adjustment of the obtained user input includes both (1) altering the
`
`home attributes indicated by an external data source to be possessed by the
`
`distinguished home and (2) adding a description of an improvement to the distinguished
`
`home, (see at least col. 10, lines 20-50 disclosing attributes such as the area of a
`
`bathroom or bedroom; col. 12, lines 62-65 and col. 13, lines 1-20 that disclose the
`
`Fusion system that creates a new evaluation)
`
`the method further comprising detecting that the alteration of home attributes and the
`
`improvement description are both directed to adding a new feature to the distinguished
`
`home, (see at least col. 10, lines 20-50 disclosing attributes such as the area of a
`
`bathroom or bedroom; col. 12, lines 62-65 and col. 13, lines 1-20 that disclose the
`
`Fusion system that creates a new evaluation)
`
`and wherein, in response to the detecting, the determined refined valuation is based at
`
`0204
`
`0204
`
`

`
`Application/Control Number: 11/347,024
`
`Page 27
`
`Art Unit: 3694
`
`least in part on applying the geographically—specific home valuation model to the altered
`
`attributes, and is not based on the improvement description. (see atleast paragraphs 7-
`
`9)
`
`Regarding claim 41:
`
`Khedkar teaches that one or more computer memories collectively containing a home
`
`valuation data structure, comprising:
`
`information identifying a home; and
`
`a valuation for the identified home automatically generated based on both
`
`information about the identified home obtained from a public source and information
`
`about the identified home obtained from an owner of the identified home,
`
`such that the contents of the data structure may be used to determine the value of the
`
`identified house. (see at least col. 10, lines 20-50 disclosing attributes such as the area
`
`of a bathroom or bedroom; col. 12, lines 62-65 and col. 13, lines 1-20 that disclose the
`
`Fusion system that creates a new evaluation)
`
`Regarding claim 42:
`
`Kim teaches/suggests that the computer memories of claim 41 wherein the data
`
`structure is a display specification capable of causing a computing system to display the
`
`identifying information and the valuation. (see at least paragraphs Fig. 1, element 106
`
`and 108)
`
`0205
`
`0205
`
`

`
`Application/Control Number: 11/347,024
`
`Page 28
`
`Art Unit: 3694
`
`Thus, it would have been obvious to try to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of
`
`the invention to use modify Khedkar with Kim so as for the use of a computer to display.
`
`Regarding claim 43:
`
`Kim teaches/suggests that the computer memories of claim 41 wherein the data
`
`structure is a web page presenting the identifying information and the valuation. (see at
`
`least paragraphs Fig. 1, element 106 and 108)
`
`Thus, it would have been obvious to try to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of
`
`the invention to use modify Khedkar with Kim so as for the use of a web page.
`
`3.
`
`Claims 11-12 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over
`
`Khedkar in view of Kim and in further view of Clemens (US Pat. No. 7,567,262)
`
`Regarding claim 11 :
`
`Clemens, not Khedkar teaches/suggests that the computer—readable medium of claim 8,
`
`the method further comprising displaying a map showing properties in a geographic
`
`region surrounding the distinguished property, and wherein the owner identifies the
`
`recent sales of nearby properties regarded by the owner as similar to the distinguished
`
`property by selecting them on the displayed map. (see at least Fig. 1 that discloses a
`
`map and pop balloon capability)
`
`Thus, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
`
`invention to modify Khedkar with Clemens. Motivation to modify exists because a map
`
`is a common method of indicating properties in a geographic region.
`
`Regarding claim 12:

`
`

`
`Application/Control Number: 11/347,024
`
`Page 29
`
`Art Unit: 3694
`
`Kim, not Cheetham, teaches/suggests that the computer—readable medium of claim 8,
`
`the method further
`
`comprising displaying a map showing properties in a geographic region surrounding the
`
`distinguished property, and wherein the owner identifies each recent sale of a nearby
`
`property regarded by the owner as similar to the distinguished property by selecting a
`
`control in a popup balloon associated with its location on the displayed map. (see at
`
`least Fig. 1 that discloses a map and pop balloon capability)
`
`Thus, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
`
`invention to modify Khedkar with Clemens. Motivation to modify exists because a map
`
`is a common method of indicating properties in a geographic region.
`
`4.
`
`Claim 19 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over Khedkar
`
`in view view of Kim and in further view of Ramamoorti (US Pat. Pub. No. 2005/0108084)
`
`Regarding claim 19:
`
`Ramamoorti teaches that the method of claim 18 wherein the geographically—specific
`
`home
`
`valuation model is a forest of classification trees each constructed from information
`
`about recent sales of homes near the distinguished home. (see at least paragraphs 18
`
`and 34
`
`Thus, it would have been obvious to try to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of
`
`the invention to use valuation model with trees since it is a known method of modeling.

`
`Claim 20 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over Khedkar
`
`in view of Kim and in further view of Eder (US pat. Pub. No. 2009/0043637)
`
`Regarding claim 20:
`
`Eder teaches that the method of claim 18 wherein the geographically—specific home
`
`valuation model is a linear regression model constructed from information about recent
`
`sales of homes near the distinguished home. (see at least paragraph 158)
`
`Thus, it would have been obvious to try to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of
`
`the invention to use valuation model with trees since it is a known method of modeling.
`
`6.
`
`Claim 21-22 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over
`
`Khedkar in view of Kim and in further view of Vladimir Svetnik article “Random Forest: A
`
`Classification and Regression Tool for Compound Classification and QSAR Modeling)
`
`Regarding claim 21:
`
`Svetnik teaches that the method of claim 18 wherein the geographically—specific home
`
`valuation model is a hybrid model, utilizing both a forest of classification trees and a
`
`linear regression—derived function, both constructed from information about recent sales
`
`of home near the distinguished home. (see at least abstract, page 1947- Introduction)
`
`Thus, it would have been obvious to try to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of
`
`the invention to use Svetnik, since Svetnik teaches evaluating values for predictive
`
`modeling.
`
`Regarding claim 22:

`
`

`
`Application/Control Number: 11/347,024
`
`Page 31
`
`Art Unit: 3694
`
`Khedkar teaches the value of recent homes sales. (see at least col. 4 lines 1-25
`
`disclosing weighting and col. 10, lines 20-55 disclosing homes with different
`
`evaluations)
`
`Svetnik, not Khedkar,
`
`teaches forest classification and linear regression. (see at least
`
`abstract, page 1947 — Introduction)
`
`Thus, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
`
`invention to use Kim to suggest all the features in the claim.
