          Appeal No. 2000-1360                                                        
          Application No. 08/632,251                                                  


                                       OPINION                                        


               At the outset, we note that, in accordance with                        
          appellants’ grouping of the claims, at page 4 of the brief,                 
          and lack of separate arguments directed to the patentability                
          of separate claims, claims 1-12 will stand or fall together.                


               It is the examiner’s position that Baker discloses the                 
          claimed subject matter but for the claimed “creating a client               
          security context for said client” upon receiving a request                  
          from a client for a service from a server.  The examiner                    
          relies on Teper for a teaching of creating this “client                     
          security context,” pointing to various portions of Teper,                   
          including the abstract, Figures 1-3, column 3, lines 5-53,                  
          column 7, lines 30-65, column 9, line 25 through column 10,                 
          line 29, column 10, line 44 through column 11, line 33, and                 
          column 20, lines 6-48.                                                      
               The examiner then concludes that it would have been                    
          obvious to incorporate the teachings of Teper for creating a                
          client security context for each client with the method of                  
          Baker for controlling server access to the host resource                    
          because “it would decrease the client overhead and increase                 
                                         4–
