and 7C which depict file directories BBB and E). Rather, Miki
discloses a system of directories and subdirectories (Col. 6,
lines 21 to 39).
In addition, claim 87 requires pointers in the PVR table
which point to the previous and next file directory groups to
be written on the WORM. There are no such pointers disclosed
in Miki. Although Miki’s path table does include all of the
addresses of the directories listed, there is no pointer to
designate the previous or next file directory. As such, even
if Miki’s directories could be considered file directory
groups, Miki still would not disclose or suggest the
limitations of claim 87 and 90 because the path table of Miki
does not include pointers to the next and previous file
directory groups so that the file directory groups are chained
thereby facilitating easy searching of the file directory
groups in the forward and backward direction.
In view of the foregoing, we will not sustain the
examiner’s rejection of claims 87 and 91 or claims 88, 89, and
92 dependent therefrom.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
