Appeal No. 95-4187
Application 07/835,374
Tsuruta teaches that Figure 2 shows inferences used by actors
to select a strategy object. Thus, we find that Tsuruta's
actor knowledge meets Appellants' claimed harmonizing
knowledge. In addition, we find that Tsuruta teaches
selecting the element knowledge (strategy objects) in
accordance with the contents of the harmonizing knowledge
(actor knowledge) as recited in Appellants' claim 1. Thus, we
find that Tsuruta teaches all of the limitations of
Appellants' claim 1. Therefore, we will sustain the
Examiner's rejection of claims 1, 3 through 6 and 22.
On page 12 of the brief, Appellants argue that
Tsuruta fails to teach that element knowledge is described in
the form of a goal strategy network representing a set having

lower level subgoals and strategy objects of knowledge, such
as procedures and rules, which are employed to subdivide the
goal and the lower level goals into lower goals for achieving
