`
`depend. Applicants respectfully submit that the claims, as amended and for the reasons
`
`presented subsequently, are patentable.
`
`The present invention and McCain are discussed above. Delpuch teaches a
`
`system to enable authoring of content within an interactive television environment.
`
`Claims 4 and 8-9 depend on amended Claim 1. Claims 15 and 19-20 depend on
`
`amended Claim 12.
`
`The deficiencies of McCain to teach each limitation of amended Claims 1 and 12
`
`are discussed above. Delpuch also fails to teach the claims, as amended (specifically the
`
`use of a Player and Application), and thus the combination of McCain and Delpuch fail
`
`to teach each limitation of either Claim 1 or 12, as amended.
`
`The combination of McCain and Delpuch thus cannot be used to establish a
`
`primafacie case of obviousness for any of Claims 4, 8-9, 15, and 19-20, and it is
`
`respectfully requested that the rejection of Claims 4, 8-9, 15, and 19-20 under §103(a) be
`
`withdrawn.
`
`In Paragraph 25 of the Office Action, Claims 10, 21, and 23-28 were rejected
`
`under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over McCain in view of Paddon.
`
`Applicants respectfully submit that the claims, as amended and for the reasons presented
`
`subsequently, are patentable.
`
`The present invention and McCain are discussed above.
`
`Paddon teaches device-dependent codes (UI engines 100, 101, or 102) that
`
`execute on a device (corresponding devices 111, 112, or 113) and a server system 130
`
`which interprets device-dependent codes (a "rule set"). As discussed in paragraph [0014],
`
`the UI Engine may display a UI component as requested by the application on the device
`
`by providing a request to a server system for combining a rule set for a given mobile
`
`communication device, application and screen with content obtained from a third party
`
`content provider via an adapter. The adapter allows conversion of the native format of
`
`the content on the content provider's system to a format suitable for combination with a
`
`rule set in order to form a UI component for transmittal to a mobile communication
`
`device. The rule set determines what events and data are sent back and when the events
`
`and data are sent to the rule interface component when a particular interface element for

`Reply to Office Action of October 11, 2012
`
`example a button is asserted by a user.
`
`In short, as shown in FIG. 1, reproduced below, rule set 150 is interpreted by the
`
`server system 130, gathers information from content providers 160, etc., and then delivers
`
`content to devices 110, etc. There is no teaching or suggestion of providing device(cid:173)
`
`dependent codes (Paddon 's "rule set") to devices.
`
`Figure 1
`
`Claims 10, 21, 23 and 28 have been amended. Claim 10 depends on amended
`
`Claim 1, Claim 21 depends on amended Claim 12, and Claims 24-28 depend on amended
`
`Claim 23.
`
`Claims 10 and 21
`
`Amended Claims 10 and 21 depend on Claims 1 and 12, respectively, and recite:
`
`"such that, when the Application and Player are provided to the device, and when the
`
`Player is executed on the device, said Player interprets said Application to provide the
`
`web component corresponding to the selected UI object and dynamically received values
`
`of the web component on the display of the device." Claims 10 and 21 are patentable for
`
`at least the following reasons.

`
`

`

`Appl'n. No. 12/936,395; Amd't. dated March 6, 2013
`Reply to Office Action of October 11, 2012
`
`First, Claims 1 and 12 are amended and, for the reasons presented above,
`
`Applicants submit that McCain does not anticipate amended Claim 1. The deficiencies in
`
`McCain are not remedies by Paddon, which does not teach or suggest an authoring tool
`
`that provides both device-dependent and device-independent code. For at least this
`
`reason, the combination of McCain and Paddon cannot be used to make a prima facie
`
`case of obviousness of either Claim 1 or 12 or of dependent claims 10 or 21.
`
`Further, McCain teaches the benefits of providing a single code to the device.
`
`There is therefore no motivation within McCain to modify the teachings of McCain to
`
`incorporate incorporating device-independent codes.
`
`In addition, neither McCain nor Paddon teach an authoring tool providing both
`
`device-dependent and device-independent code to the device. McCain does not teach an
`
`authoring tool providing device-independent code to a device, and Paddon teaches
`
`providing device-independent code to a separate server.
`
`Lastly, Claim 10 and 21 recite that "when the Application and Player are provided
`
`to the device, and when the Player is executed on the device, said Player interprets said
`
`Application to provide the web component corresponding to the selected UI object and
`
`dynamically received values of the web component on the display of the device."
`
`McCain teaches a web browser which interprets web component data, and
`
`Paddon teaches that the device-independent code (the rule set) resides on a server
`
`different from the device.
`
`For any of these reasons, a primafacie case of obviousness cannot be made
`
`regarding either of Claims 10 or 21, and Applications respectfully request that the
`
`rejection of Claims 10 and 21 under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) be withdrawn.
`
`Claims 23-28
`
`Claims 24-28 depend on Claim 23. Claim 23 has been amended to recite, in part,
`
`a method ... comprising:
`
`accepting a first code over the network, where said first code is device(cid:173)
`
`dependent;
`
`providing a second code over the network, where said second code is
`
`device-independent and includes symbolic names corresponding to a web
`
`component; and
`

`
`

`

`Appl'n. No. 12/936,395; Amd't. dated March 6, 2013
`Reply to Office Action of October 11, 2012
`
`executing said first code and said second code on the device to provide
`
`web components corresponding to the symbolic names over the network and in
`
`response to the second code.
`
`Claim 24-28 depend on Claim 23, which has been amended. Paragraph 28 of the
`
`Office Action states that McCain discloses the invention of the original Claim 23 with
`
`the exception of that "said second code is device-independent," and that this is taught by
`
`Paddon.
`
`As discussed above regarding the rejection of Claim 10, where the first code of
`
`Claim 23 is the Player, the second code of Claim 23 is the Application, and the third code
`
`of Claim 23 is device-independent code provided by the web component, the claims, the
`
`cited references do not teach each limitation of Claim 23, as amended.
`
`The combination of references thus fails to teach executing the claimed device(cid:173)
`
`independent and device-dependent codes to the device, as claimed.
`
`For any of these reasons, a primafacie case of obviousness cannot be made
`
`regarding of amended Claim 23 or of Claims 24-28, which depend on amended Claim 23,
`
`and Applications respectfully request that the rejection of Claims 23-28 under 35 U.S.C.
`
`103(a) be withdrawn.
`
`Applicants respectfully submit that the application is in condition for allowance
`
`and action to that end is respectfully solicited. If the Examiner should feel that a
`
`telephone interview would be productive in resolving any issues in the case, please
`
`telephone the undersigned at the number listed below.

`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`This final rejection is in response to the amendment filed on: 3/6/2013.
`
`Claims 1,3-7 10, 12, 14-18,21-25 and 28 are amended. Thus, claims 1-28 are pending.
`
`The following rejections are withdrawn, in view of new grounds of rejection necessitated
`
`by applicant's amendments:
`
`Claims 1-3,5-7,11-14,16-18,22 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(b) as being
`
`anticipated by McCain US Patent Application Publication No.: 2005/0273705.
`
`Claims 4,8-9,15,19-20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over
`
`McCain US Patent Application Publication No.: 2005/0273705 in view of Delpuch et
`
`al. US Patent Application Publication No.: 2004/0055017.
`
`Claims 10,21,23-28 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over
`
`McCain US Patent Application Publication No.: 2005/0273705 in view of Paddon et
`
`al. US Patent Application Publication No: 2006/0063518
`
`Claim Objections - 35 USC§ 101
`
`1.
`
`35 U.S.C. 101 reads as follows:
`
`Whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of
`matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the
`conditions and requirements of this title.
`
`Claims 1-11 are objected under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as not falling within one of the
`
`four statutory categories of invention. Claims 1-11 are non-statutory because claims 1:
`
`11..are directed to a system that does not have any physical structural elements. The
`
`system of claims 1-11
`
`include a database and an authoring tool. The broadest
`
`reasonable
`
`interpretation of
`
`the claims means
`
`it
`
`includes an entirely software

`
`implementation. The body of the claims is directed to software component alone, With
`
`no other structure in the independent claim to rely on, the alleged "system" of the claims
`
`turns out to be an abstract idea for being a computer program per se, and, thus, does
`
`not fit within the definition of the categories of patentable subject matter set forth in §
`
`101. Therefore, the claims are non-statutory.
`
`Note that Applicant may resolve the deficiency through use of the suggestion in
`
`the OG notice, but that it is not the sole manner of correction. Either way, ensure the
`
`new claim terminology has antecedent basis in the specification (37 CFR 1.75(d)(1) and
`
`MPEP 608.01 (o)) and note that "rephrasing" the specification is acceptable and would
`
`normally be supported by the original disclosure so as not to constitute new matter
`
`(MPEP 2163.07).
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
`
`2.
`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103(a) which forms the basis for all
`
`obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
`
`(a) A patent may not be obtained though the invention is not identically disclosed or described as set
`forth in section 102 of this title, if the differences between the subject matter sought to be patented and
`the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the
`invention was made to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains.
`Patentability shall not be negatived by the manner in which the invention was made.
`
`The factual inquiries set forth in Graham v. John Deere Co., 383 U.S. 1, 148
`USPQ 459 (1966), that are applied for establishing a background for determining
`obviousness under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) are summarized as follows:
`1.
`Determining the scope and contents of the prior art.
`2.
`Ascertaining the differences between the prior art and the claims at issue.
`3.
`Resolving the level of ordinary skill in the pertinent art.
`4.
`Considering objective evidence present in the application indicating
`obviousness or nonobviousness.

`3.
`
`Claims 1-3,5-7,10-14,16-18,21-28 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being
`
`unpatentable over McCain US Patent Application Publication No.: 2005/0273705 in
`
`view of Sidman US Patent Application Publication No.: 20040163020 and Paddon
`
`et al. US Patent Application Publication No: 2006/0063518.
`
`In regard to claim 1, McCain discloses the claimed invention (Currently
`
`Amended): A system (Paragraph [0002]) for generating code (paragraph [0081]) to
`
`provide content on a display of a device, (paragraph [0041], [0042]) said system
`
`comprising: a database obtainable over a network, (Fig. 1, paragraph [0070]) an
`
`authoring tool (paragraph [0023] ) configured to: define a user interface illll_object for
`
`presentation on the display, (paragraph [0072]) seleet a where said UI object
`
`corresponds to a web component of a web service included in said registry, (paragraph
`
`[0072]-[0073],[0080], [0109]-[0113], see below for registry) produce an Application.
`
`(paragraph [0109]-[0113])
`
`But McCain fails to explicitly teach "a database including a registry of one or
`
`more web components related to inputs and/or outputs of a web service , where each
`
`web component includes the symbolic names of inputs and/or outputs associated with
`
`teach web services; included in said registry, select a symbolic name from said web
`
`component corresponding to the defined UI object, associate said objeet with said the
`
`selected symbolic name with the defined UI obiect, produce an Application including the
`
`selected symbolic name of the defined UI obiect and symbolic name as
