Appeal No. 95-1599
Application 08/062,492
linear line of ascent and independent line of descent of Leblang
et al.” The examiner’s conclusion (Answer, page 8) that Leblang
“provides configuration and version management which meets the
very broadly claimed functions being performed by the version and
config-uration abstract machines” is correct insofar as it
relates to the broadness of the claims on appeal and the
disclosure of version management in Leblang. The configuration
management system disclosed by Leblang is only concerned with
versions of software modules, and not with configurations of
software modules. In short, the Leblang system discloses a
“version abstract machine,” but not a “configuration abstract
machine.” The claimed “received calls from said application”
“independent of said change management system,” and the claimed
“first instruction set and said second instruction set” have not
been addressed by the examiner. The 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of
claims 8 through 13 and 19 through 32 is reversed.
