`
`EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT
`
`1.
`
`An examiner's amendment to the record appears below. Should the
`
`changes and/or additions be unacceptable to applicant, an amendment may be
`
`filed as provided by 37 CFR 1.312. To ensure consideration of such an
`
`amendment, it MUST be submitted no later than the payment of the issue fee.
`
`Authorization for this examiner's amendment was given in a telephone
`
`interview with Arthur K Shafer on August 27, 2012.
`
`In the Claims:
`
`Claims 1-11, and 35-60 are canceled.
`
`Reasons for Allowance
`
`2.
`
`The following is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance:
`
`The closest prior art is Work (US Patent No. 7,725,525). Work discloses a
`
`method that matches between search queries and potential targets of such
`
`search queries are automatically brokered by comparing search criteria specified
`
`in the search queries with profile criteria describing potential targets, and
`
`reporting instances of acceptable correspondence between the search criteria
`
`and the profile criteria. The search criteria includes portions of descriptive profiles
`
`of the potential targets. Descriptive profiles include some or all of an individual's

`
`capabilities, history, values, interests, style, goals, projects, contacts, profiles of
`
`said contacts, employment history, education history, organizational activities.
`
`Applicant's arguments filed on June 28, 2012 (Pages 19-22 in particular)
`
`are deemed to be persuasive and adequately reflect the Examiner's opinion as to
`
`why claims 12-34 and 61 -62 are allowable over the prior art of record.
`
`Any comments considered necessary by applicant must be submitted no
`
`later than the payment of the issue fee and, to avoid processing delays, should
`
`preferably accompany the issue fee. Such submissions should be clearly labeled
`
`“Comments on Statement of Reasons for Allowance.”
`
`Conclusion
`
`3.

`
`upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure.
