          Application No. 10/264,733                                                  
          (Globally Unique Identifiers) GUIDs and even if the first and               
          second objects have different interfaces.                                   
          Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                            
          1.   A method for object oriented programming comprising:                   
               creating a first object having a first identifer, said                 
          object associated with a first client;                                      
               providing a second object having a second identifier, said             
          second object associated with the first client, said first and              
          second identifiers being different; and                                     
               using said second object with said first client in place of            
          the first object without recompiling.                                       
          The examiner relies on the following reference:                             
          Miloushev et al. (Miloushev)   US 2001/0037412    Nov. 1, 2001              
          Claims 1-5, 12, 13 and 15-17 stand rejected under 35                        
          U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by the disclosure of                   
          Miloushev.  Claim 14 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as            
          being unpatentable over the teachings of Miloushev taken alone.             
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the                        
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for the            
          respective details thereof.                                                 
          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the evidence            
          of anticipation and obviousness relied upon by the examiner as              
          support for the rejections.  We have, likewise, reviewed and                
          taken into consideration, in reaching our decision, the                     
          appellant’s arguments set forth in the briefs along with the
