           Appeal No. 2003-0063                                                                     
           Application No. 09/201,919                                                               

           dependent claims, which are directed to a bit map image feature,                         
           the Examiner looks to D’Andrea to remedy this deficiency in Beer                         
           (Answer, page 5).  For all of the reasons discussed supra, however,                      
           the Examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of                               
           obviousness since we find no teaching or suggestion in D’Andrea                          
           that would overcome the innate deficiencies of Beer in disclosing                        
           the particular claimed relationship of stored data structure and                         
           data definitions that are used for the creation of data messages, a                      
           feature present in each of independent claims 1, 2, 7, and 8.                            
                 In summary, we have not sustained either of the Examiner’s                         
           rejections of the claims on appeal.  Therefore, the decision of                          
           the Examiner rejecting claims 1-17 is reversed.                                          













                                                 7
