                Appeal 2007-1773                                                                             
                Application 10/107,776                                                                       

                the claimed invention.  Atlas Powder Co. v. IRECO, Inc., 190 F.3d 1342,                      
                1347, 51 USPQ2d 1943, 1946 (Fed. Cir. 1999); In re Paulsen, 30 F.3d 1475,                    
                1478-79, 31 USPQ2d 1671, 1673 (Fed. Cir. 1994).                                              

                                                ANALYSIS                                                     
                      As indicated supra, the access monitor 28 in Anderson determines if                    
                the CPU 10 is authorized to access a subject device based on the address                     
                signal of a subject device issued by the CPU.  The identity of the CPU is not                
                used to determine access to the subject device.                                              

                                         CONCLUSION OF LAW                                                   
                      Anticipation has not been established by the Examiner for claims 29,                   
                30, 32, 36, 37, and 39 to 51 because Anderson does not use the identity of                   
                the CPU to determine access to the subject device.                                           

                                                DECISION                                                     
                      The anticipation rejection of claims 29, 30, 32, 36, 37, and 39 to 51 is               
                reversed.                                                                                    

                                                REVERSED                                                     

                KIS                                                                                          

                WILLIAMS, MORGAN & AMERSON
