the nonvolatile flag cell array 32-34, and refreshing data
stored in each memory cell of the selected refresh block 29-

convincing line of reasoning by the examiner, that the start
and stop addresses (column 2, lines 40 through 47; column 3,
lines 48 through 62; column 4, lines 55 through 66; column 9,
lines 3 through 24; column 10, lines 24 through 62; and column
11, lines 5 through 8) stored in the registers 11 (Figure 3
embodiment), in the reserved storage locations 32 through 34
(Figure 5 embodiment) or in the register storage locations 51
through 53 (Figure 6 embodiment) are the same as refresh
status data, we will not sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)
rejection of claims 1 through 26 and 30 through 51.

26 and 30 through 51 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) is reversed.
