as the claimed processor depends on whether the data of Loopik
represents a processor instruction set and resources, and
whether the data base is a representation between semantic
entities and the processor resources.
The examiner has failed to indicate what elements of
Loopik would satisfy the limitation of an instruction set and
resources. Although the examiner attempts to combine Loopik
with Highland, if Loopik does not include an instruction set
and resources, Loopik does not disclose a processor, and
therefore does not relate to a computer. Accordingly, it is
unclear how one can modify the device with the computer of
Highland.
Further, the examiner admits (Paper No. 5, page 3) that
Loopik does not disclose or suggest "the data being
represented by relationships between semantic entities
associated with each instruction and between semantic entities
and processor resources." The examiner relies on Highland to
make up for this deficiency. Highland teaches converting the
knowledge base of a computer system into program code in the
form of rule trees. The examiner concludes that modifying the
device of Loopik with the teachings of Highland yields the
