`REMARKS
`
`The Claims Define Patentable Subiect Matter
`
`Claims 23-30 and 33-42 are pending. By this Amendment, claims 33 and 36 are
`
`amended. Claim 33 remains in independent form.
`
`The Office Action rejects claims 23-28, 30, and 33-42 under pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
`
`as unpatentable over US 2002/0104099 (“Novak”) in view of US. Patent No. 7,367,043
`
`(”Dudkiewicz et at”).
`
`Applicant notes that in claim 33 the step of “receiving, at the VOD services platform, the
`
`stored video-on~demand program content associated with the selected title” has been modified
`
`from “retrieving, at the VOD services platform .
`
`.
`
`to clarify that the stored video—on-demand
`
`program content can be either transmitted to the VOD services platform or fetched by the VOD
`
`services platform.
`
`Claim 33 has been further amended to require, inter alia, that the updated electronic
`
`program guide is “accessible by subscribers of the VOD services platform both via electronic
`
`devices connected to the VOD services platform through a TV services platform and via
`
`electronic devices connected through the Internet” (emphasis added). The amended claims
`
`thus require dual access of the electronic program guide, either through a TV platform
`
`connected to the VOD services platform or through an Internet-connected digital device, which
`
`can connect to the VOD services platform. Support for these amendments is found at least on
`
`page 27, lines 23-28, which incorporates by reference US. Patent Application Ser. No.
`
`11/685,188, issued as US. Patent No. 7,631,336 (the ”’336 Patent”), which states as follows:
`
`The extension ofTV VOD programming to citizen publishing, and the
`
`convergence of Internet searching with sharing of TV program bookmarks, can
`
`also stimulate diverse new content publishing sources and supporting hardware
`
`and equipment in the converged Internet—TV universe. For example, TV EPGs
`
`can be exported to via Internet to Internet-connected digital devices,
`
`including digital phones, media players, game sonsoles [sic], Video
`
`iPodsTM, PDAs, etc., and conversely, TV bookmarks selected from EPGs on the
`
`Internet can be imported back into the viewer's “MyEPG” or “MyVideoLibrary” for
`
`5 72994. I

`

`their TV through the Web-based Content Management System. This would
`
`enable people to freely select, save, bookmark, and share TV programs with
`
`friends and contacts between their TV viewing environment and their daily mobile
`
`or away-from-home environments. Internet—connected DVRs, such as those sold
`
`by TiVo, or virtual DVRs offered by the digital TV service provider can also
`
`connect Internet searching and bookmark sharing to the viewer's “MyEPG” or
`
`“MyVideoLibrary” for VOD program viewing.
`
`US. Patent No. 7,631,336, Col. 20, In. 22-40 (emphasis added).
`
`In light of the amendment to require dual access of the electronic program guide, Applicant
`
`respectfully submits that the rejections in the Office Action are moot. Neither of the cited
`
`references teach dual access of an electronic program guide with the same hierarchical
`
`structure. Nevertheless, Applicant discusses the cited references in turn.
`
`The Office Action relies on Novak as teaching receiving, at a video-on-demand (VOD)
`
`services platform, digital video—on—demand program content and hierarchical metadata
`
`associated with the received program content. For hierarchical metadata, the Examiner cites
`
`Novak’s description of media information. However, Novak fails to teach any form of
`
`hierarchical metadata or category and subcategory information. The Office Action then relies on
`
`Dudkiewicz as teaching a hierarchical structure for identifying a location in an electronic
`
`program guide where the video—on—demand program will be located. Dudkiewicz teaches
`
`automatically determining hierarchy information, which can be used by a client device (which is
`
`a user device and not a VOD services platform) to determine automatically whether a program
`
`may be of interest to the viewer. The invention entails receiving at a VOD services platform
`
`both a video and hierarchical metadata, where the metadata includes category and
`
`subcategory information that identifies a location for the video in an electronic program
`
`guide. Accordingly, the invention allows a content provider to make available a video and
`
`specify the metadata structure in which the video will be displayed in an electronic program
`
`guide. Neither Novak nor Dudkiewicz teach receipt, at a VOD services platform, of video-on-
`
`demand program content and hierarchical metadata for specifying the location of the video-on-
`
`demand program content in an electronic program guide.
`
`Similarly, the Office Action’s reliance on Dudkiewicz to teach “allowing the subscribers to
`
`navigate and select hierarchically-arranged titles of video-on-demand program content listed by
`
`572994.]

`
`

`

`category and subcategory terms from the updated electronic program guide” is incorrect. The
`
`cited portions of Dudkiewicz, namely, Col. 11~12, lines 44-12, only describe the automatic
`
`generation of metadata. Other portions of Dudkiewicz only describe the use of the automatically
`
`generated metadata for automatically determining whether a user would like a particular
`
`program, not for identifying the location of the program in an electronic program guide.
`
`Meanwhile, Novak only describes an interface for arranging a lineup of media programs
`
`for viewing, which lineup includes time slots for each program. There is no need in the
`
`system of Novak for a hierarchy of media program content since the program lineup is
`
`already fixed to form a synthetic channel that can be delivered to users. Thus, there
`
`would be no motivation to modify Novak in that manner. The user does not browse and
`
`select media programs from such a synthetic channel but rather can view the programs in their
`
`designated time slots. Accordingly, use of a hierarchical ordering of program content from
`
`which to navigate and select programs would be unnecessary and out of place in the synthetic
`
`channel system described by Novak. Despite this reality and without a rationale to support a
`
`combination of Novak and Dudkiewicz, the Office Action makes the conclusory statement that “it
`
`would have been obvious to one o[f] ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention was made
`
`to have provided a metadata hierarchy as taught by Dudkiewicz to the system of Novak to
`
`provide classification of programming data” (Office Action at 4). This rejection is improper.
`
`For at least these reasons, Applicant respectfully submits that the claims are allowable
`
`over the cited references.
