Appeal No. 1997-1194
Application No. 08/084,668
address the adapter/modem feature of claim 16. Fisk, however,
does not overcome the innate deficiencies of Shinohara and
Hokari with respect to the virtual connection map queue
feature as claimed.
Accordingly, since all of the limitations are not taught or
suggested by the prior art, we do not sustain the obviousness
rejection of dependent claims 2 and 15 through 17.
In summary, we have sustained the 35 U.S.C. § 103
rejection of claims 1, 4 through 10, 12 through 14, 19 and 20
but have not sustained the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims
2 and
15 through 17. Therefore, the Examiner’s decision rejecting
claims 1, 2, 4 through 10, 12 through 17, 19, and 20 is
affirmed-in-part.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended
under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
AFFIRMED-IN-PART
