Appeal No. 2002-0278
Application 08/797,674
we fail to find that Tan discloses queuing request information or
response information as recited in Appellants’ claims.
Therefore, we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection of claims
1 through 3, 8, 24, 26, 27, 30 and 32 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as
being anticipated by Tan.
Rejections under 35 U.S.C. § 103
We note that Appellants’ claim 10 recites
a request activation queue for storing request information
until the rings are accessible; and a response activation
queue for storing response information until the memory
access controller is accessible; wherein if the address
match occurs the contents addressable memory retrieves the
information for a matched previous request from the table;
the request information is used to construct request data
packets; and the response information is used to construct
response data packets.
Furthermore, we note that the Examiner has relied on Tan for
these limitations as well as the limitation as we pointed out in
independent claims 1 and 24. Therefore, we will not sustain the
rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 for the same reasons as stated
above.
