Application 09/750,150
13. A multi-mode predictor in a processor, comprising:
a first table indexed by an instruction pointer and having table entries
that includes a mode field and an information field;
a second table indexed by a function of said instruction pointer and
said first table; and a hit condition in said second table that correlates to a
predicted value of a prediction mode.
C. REJECTION
Claims 1-26 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by
Kai Wang and Manoj Franklin, Highly Accurate Data Value Prediction
Using Hybrid Predictors, IEEE, at 281-290 (1997) (“Wang”).
II. CLAIM GROUPINGS
“When multiple claims subject to the same ground of rejection are
argued as a group by Appellant, the Board may select a single claim from
the group of claims that are argued together to decide the appeal with respect
to the group of claims as to the ground of rejection on the basis of the
selected claim alone. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph,
the failure of appellant to separately argue claims which appellant has
grouped together shall constitute a waiver of any argument that the Board
must consider the patentability of any grouped claim separately.” 37 C.F.R.
§ 41.37(c)(1)(vii) (2005).1

time of the Appeal Brief. The current version includes the same rules.
