               Appeal 2007-0210                                                                             
               Application 10/167,359                                                                       

               Telegenix Inc., 308 F.3d 1193, 1202, 64 USPQ2d 1812, 1817 (Fed. Cir.                         
               2002), cert. denied, 538 U.S. 1058 (2003).                                                   

                                               ANALYSIS                                                     
                      Appellants have contend that Examiner erred in rejecting claims 1-20                  
               and 26-49 under 35 U.S.C. 103(a).  Reviewing the findings of facts cited                     
               above, we find an essential limitation of the claim was not disclosed in the                 
               cited prior art.  The claim requires an update manager, accessible by a                      
               processor, adapted to receive a transfer of a update, and adapted to receive a               
               listing identifying all the data packets of the update prior to the transfer.                
               (Finding of Fact #2).  Examiner has cited art, notably Doshi, which contains                 
               the packet list, but on the sending side.  Examiner has also noted that the                  
               reference teaches that a second list of received packets is accumulated on the               
               receiving side and sent back to the transmitting side, but that operation does               
               not take place prior to the sending of the update, in accordance with the                    
               common meaning of the terms.                                                                 
                      As this issue establishes the error of the rejection, the other issues                
               raised by Appellants need not be addressed.                                                  

                                         CONCLUSION OF LAW                                                  
                      Based on the findings of facts and analysis above, we conclude that                   
               the Examiner erred in rejecting claims 1- 20 and 26-49 over the cited art.                   
               The rejection of those claims is reversed
