           Appeal 2007-1401                                                                         
           Application 09/882,094                                                                   
                 19. Huang does not disclose the steps of evaluating said part data and said        
                 activity data; associating an active or inactive status code with the part data    
                 based upon the results of the evaluating step; and storing the part data and       
                 the status code in a data storage location.                                        
                 20. Underwood describes using business objects to map items between                
                 databases (Underwood, col. 19, ll. 36-38).                                         
                 21. Underwood relates to “software framework designs and more                      
                 particularly to initializing a database in an issue tracker” (Underwood, col. 1,   
                 ll. 6-8).                                                                          
                 22. Underwood describes a Codes Table framework design, whose                      
                 purpose is to maintain application consistency by referencing text phrases         
                 through short codes (Underwood, col. 17, ll. 54-58).                               
                 23. Underwood explains that the code and text phrase (decode) are stored           
                 in a standard table format (Underwood, col. 17, ll. 58-60).                        
                 24. As such, Underwood merely teaches a table of shorthand codes that              
                 application developers can use to refer to text phrases to maintain                
                 application consistency.                                                           
                 25. There is nothing in Underwood that describes these codes as status             
                 codes or that discusses that the codes indicate an active or inactive status.      
                 26. Underwood describes Figure 104 as follows:                                     
                          From the Main Window, select the New button                               
                       10332.  The New [System Investigation Report] SIR                            
                       window 10400 maybe displayed which is illustrated in                         
                       FIG. 104.  All SIR requests with status of New (in the                       
                       Status field 10402) can be reviewed.  To look at other                       
                                                 6
