Appeal No. 2000-2091
Application 08/441,024
on the Examiner’s proposed modification of the data recovery
method of Kobayashi, Agrawal and Baker by using the time
stamped files of Genosa to provide the most recent version of
a file (answer, page 11). Appellant argues that Genosa is
concerned with gathering statistics on system performance and
contains no teaching or suggestion to overcome the
deficiencies in Kobayashi, Agrawal and Baker (brief, page 13
and reply brief, page 6). In response, the Examiner indicates
that Genosa should not be evaluated alone since the rejection
is based on the combination of the references (answer, page
15).
Our review of Genosa reveals that the reference teaches
using monitoring programs for gathering statistics and
identifying performance problems in computers. The program of
Genosa defines “where the output files will be stored” and
uses the “TIME variable” in order to “create a timestamp of
each record that is appended to the output files” (page 1, ¶
3). We find no teaching or suggestion in Genosa relating to
the claimed limitation of data downloading, processing,
storing and transferring at the client side, that would
overcome the deficiencies noted above in Kobayashi, Agrawal
