Appeal No. 96-2607
Application 08/001,865
limitation cannot be ignored because the limitation is
positively recited in the claims. We note that Appellants’
claim 1 recites ”coupling each of said plurality of
intermediate storage buffers to all of said plurality of
execution units via an independent bus wherein each
independent bus is associated with a single one of said
plurality of intermediate storage buffers” and 6 recites
“means for coupling each of said plurality of intermediate
storage buffers to all of said plurality of execution units
via an independent bus wherein each independent bus is
associated with a single one of said plurality of intermediate
storage buffers.” Thus, all of Appellants’ independent claims
recite this
limitation and thereby the Examiner has the burden to
establish
why one having ordinary skill in the art would have been led
to the claimed limitation by the express teachings or
suggestions found in the prior art, or by implications
contained in such teachings or suggestions.
