`
`Leighton —
`
`I am working in this with the hope of finishing this week. As I have worked on this off and on over the last weeks,
`I realize that I have a possible semantics issue that is tripping me up:
`
`This draft extensively uses the term "VOD" in referring to platform and content critical to our application and
`patent. Taking a step back, our application is and "interactive television" application that uses specific iTV
`capabilities to deliver and present certain types of content (the interactive pages for example) and integrates
`traditional VOD content into the presentations — a user can access VOD content from an interactive page.
`
`In your use of the term "VOD", are you looking at it in a more generalized way than the industry typically uses it?
`When the cable industry refers to "VOD" it specifically means short or long-form continuous motion video content
`that is stream on an on-demand basis to a user SIB. It does not typically include static assets such as interactive
`television pages, banners, etc., The draft appears to use the term "VOD" in a more encompassing way — where
`VOD means any video asset that may be accessed on an on-demand basis, not just continuous-motion video.
`Am I reading things correctly? My instinct as I read the draft has been to edit it to distinguish between "iTV" and
`"VOD" platform and content, but also realize that this broader use of the term "VOD" may be the most appropriate
`for a patent. Sorry to ramble, I am very interested in your perspective
`
`Thanks,
`
