Appeal No. 96-0254 Application 08/096,149 No. 10, filed March 27, 1995) and in the reply brief (Paper No. 12, filed May 19, 1995). OPINION In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given careful consideration to appellant’s specification and claims, to the applied Guttag reference, and to the positions set forth by appellant and the examiner. Upon evaluation of the record before us, we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 8-12 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Guttag. As appellant pointed out on page 3 of the appeal brief, Guttag does not teach, nor render obvious the step of repeating the steps of capturing a word of the multiple word data string, analyzing the word’s accuracy, and communicating a pass or fail indication until all the words in the multiple word data string have been tested, whereby each repeating step analyzing a subsequent word’s accuracy in the multiple word data string and whereby testing of each word of the multiple word data string is accomplished at a fraction of the frequency of the multiple word data string. 4Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
