Appeal No. 1999-0498
Application 08/532,225
as the result of another instruction [brief, pages 13-14].
We again agree with the position argued by appellants.
Representative claim 29 recites the same feature discussed
above. Specifically, claim 29 recites that a first bit
indicates the availability of a source operand before said
operand is actually computed as a result of the execution of
another instruction. For reasons discussed above, none of the
applied prior art references teach or suggest this aspect of
the claimed invention. Therefore, we do not sustain the
examiner’s rejection of claims 29-36 for reasons already
discussed.
