Appeal No. 2001-1847
Application No. 08/861,157
Greenberg was relied upon by the examiner (Answer, page 6)
for the structure of the data sector. Greenberg adds nothing to
the teachings of Park to cure the deficiencies thereof.
Therefore, we cannot sustain the obviousness rejection of claims
4 and 7 through 14 over Park in view of Greenberg. In addition,
as Gold does not remedy the above-noted shortcomings of the
primary combination of Park and Greenberg, we cannot sustain the
obviousness rejection of claims 5, 6, 15, and 16 over Park in
view of Greenberg and Gold.
CONCLUSION
The decision of the examiner rejecting claim 1 under
35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is affirmed. The decision of the examiner
rejecting claims 2 through 26 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
Thus, the examiner's decision is affirmed-in-part.
