Appeal No. 2001-0161
Application No. 08/784,087
We note that claim 37 recites a method similar to claim 13
for establishing a workable connection between the transceiver
and a host. Furthermore, we note that claim 44 is directed to a
system and claim 22 is directed to a machine for establishing a
workable connection between a transceiver and a host.
Appellant argues on page 2 of the Reply Brief that the cited
claim language requires establishing a workable connection
between the transceiver and host whereby data in IR transmissions
between them will be accepted. Appellant argues that obtaining
acceptance of the IR transmission is a useful, concrete and
tangible result.
We find that Appellant's claims recite subject matter that
is a practical application of linking a transceiver device LSAP
with a host LSAP for transmitting and accepting data in IR
transmission exchanged therebetween. Therefore, we find that
Appellant's claims 13 through 30 and 37 through 50 recite
statutory subject matter.
