Ex Parte HARTMANN et al - Page 12



          Appeal No. 2000-1250                                                            
          Application No. 08/662,077                                   Page 12            

          and Astmann.  The combined teachings of the references do not                   
          teach or suggest that the object server includes a generic                      
          message interpreter, and that the API includes a set of generic                 
          messages for controlling the plurality of different high speed                  
          telecommunication switches, each of which responds to a different               
          set of native messages.  We therefore find that the examiner has                
          failed to establish a prima facie case of obviousness of claim                  
          11, and claims 12-15 which depend therefrom.  Accordingly, the                  
          rejection of claims 11-15 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
