The Rejections on Appeal
Claims 1-30 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being
anticipated by Sakon. This rejection was first entered in the
examiner's answer (Paper No. 11).
Claims 1-29 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Fava and Miro (Paper No. 5).
We assume that claim 30 also stands finally rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Fava and Miro.
Although the cover page of the final rejection identified only
claims 1-29 as having been rejected, the markings on the file
jacket indicate that claim 30 has also been rejected. The appeal
brief also regards claim 30 as having been rejected.

broadest and reads as follows:
25. A method for controlling transmission of
information in a computer interconnect controlled by a control
