          Appeal No. 97-4407                                                          
          Application 08/441,560                                                      



          latch has a clock input, a SET and RST for respectively setting             
          the state of its stored data to all logic "1" or resetting it to            
          a logic "0" irrespective of the data on the D input terminal.               
          However, Edwards fails to teach or suggest the storage element              
          having an additional load input coupled to the selection signal             
          provided by the address decoder and an additional test data input           



          coupled to another portion of the plurality of outputs of the               
          serial shift register as claimed by Appellant.                              
                    We have not sustained the rejection of claims 1 through           
          7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Accordingly, the Examiner's decision is           
          reversed.
