REMARKS Reconsideration and allowance are respectfully requested. The above amendments to claims 1 and 13 particularly point out the invention. Newly added claims 21-56 also define the Entry and novel invention. No new matter has been added. allowance are requested. Claims 1, 13 and 21-56 are patentable over Meske. There is a fundamental difference concerning the operation of the present invention and the operation system of that disclosed by Meske. Although the information received by a browsing client may appear as being similar, in that it is formed by HTML pages, the way in which these pages are generated differ significantly. In particular, in Meske, pages are already available in the form of SGML and, under the operation of a PERL program, these pages are merely parsed to create HTML versions, as described at line 60 of column 5. while the nature of the docunentation may -a- 241 Case 1:06-cv-01015-JR Document 30-6 Filed 05/30/2007 Page 10 of 11 remain substantially similar and while the conversion may merely be one of performing a standard conversion such that the documentation may be viewed via a web browser, however, Pleske has nothing to do with the unique features being claimed and defined in claims 1, 13, and 21-56. Claim 1 defines that requests are made by browsing clients that define (a) a request for specified viewable data with (b) formatting type data for displaying said viewable data in a specified format. Thus, a browsing client makes a request for viewable data to be displayed. In addition to specifying viewable data, a request also includes formatting type data such that the actual formatting of the data may vary from one client to another. Thus, the nature in which the viewable data is formatted may be made dependent upon user preferences, usually with certain sets of browsing clients being presented data in one format with other browsing clients being presented data in an alternative format. A further distinction of the present invention over the disclosure is that text or graphics are derived by indexing relational databases as defined in claim 25. In claim 34, functions are identified for displaying the data in a specified format and these functions are executed at the serving device. Method claim 13 is of substantially similar scope to apparatus claim 1. Method claim 41 is of substantially similar scope to apparatus claim 25. Method claim -9- 50 is of substantially 242 Case 1:06-cv-01015-JR Document 30-6 Filed 05/30/2007 Page 11 of 11 . -.._.____-__I____.. , , - .. . .. .. . .. ,. .. __ - . . . .. ._.. . . ~ similar scope to apparatus claim 34. Nothing in Meske teaches or suggests the claimed features. Therefore, the present claims are patentable over Meske. Since applicant has presented a novel, unique and unobvious invention, reconsideration and allowance of all the claims is respectfully requested. Respectfully, sem( C. Wray/Reg. No. 22,693 Meera P.
