`

`
`REMARKS
`
`Favorable reconsideration of this application as presently amended and in light of the
`
`following discussion is respectfully requested.
`
`Claims 8-86 are presently active in this case, with Claim 8 amended, by way of the
`
`present amendment, without the introduction of new matter (see, e.g, Fig. 1, steps 2, 4, 6, 8,
`
`10, 12 and 14 and the discussion in Applicants‘ disclosure thereof).
`
`In the outstanding Office Action, Claims 8—86 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. §102(e)
`
`as being anticipated by the newly cited T_so (6,085,201) reference.
`
`First, Applicant wishes to thank Examiner Dela Torre for the courtesy of an interview
`
`granted to Applicant’s attorney on October 17, 2000, in regard to the outstanding issues in
`
`the present application. During the discussion, it was noted that columns 4-5 of T_sg teach a
`
`user selecting a text string to be processed by clicking on the text string using various

`

`selection means. In this respect, the present invention does not require the user to select a
`
`text string to be processed since it functions automatically upon a single click of an input
`
`device, such as a button, menu item, etc. No agreement was reached, however, pending the
`
`Examiner’s detailed reconsideration of the application upon formal submission of an
`
`amendment and subject to the Examiner updating her search.
`
`In light of the discussion with the Examiner, Claim 8 has been amended to clarify that
`
`according to Applicants’ invention, upon a single entry of an execute command by means of
`
`an input device, a document is analyzed to determine if first information is contained therein,
`
`and if the first information is contained in the document, an information source is searched
`
`for second information associated with the first information using a record retrieval program.
`
`These changes are not believed to add new matter (see, e.g, Fig. 1, steps 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and
`
`14 and the discussion in Applicants” disclosure thereof), and are believed to be patentably
`
`distinguishing over the applied prior art for the reasons discussed with the Examiner on
`
`October 17, 2000, as above noted.
`
`The present amendment is submitted in accordance with the provisions of 37 CPR,
`
`§l.ll6, which after Final Rejection permits entry of amendments placing the claims in better
`
`form for consideration on appeal. As the present amendment is believed to overcome the
`
`outstanding rejection under 35 U.S.C. §102, the present amendment places the application in
`
`better form for consideration on appeal.
`
`It is therefore respectfully requested that 37 C.F.R.
`
`§l.ll6 be liberally construed, and that the present amendment be entered.
`
`Consequently, in View of the present amendment, no further issues are believed to be
`
`outstanding, and the application as amended herewith is believed to be in condition for
