Appeal No. 96-2894
Application 08/742,974
that appellants are not required to recite storage of the
course at the server (Br10).
It is clear to us that the complete limitation "said
server where a course resides" means that the course is
stored in some manner at the server. It is not necessary to
specify how the course is stored (i.e., "resides") in the
server. This reason for the § 112, second paragraph,
rejection is reversed.
As to the language "wherein said course is in said
repository and at said servers," appellants argue that "this
claim language further defines of [sic] the previously
recited claim language of 'a distributed delivery system
responsive to a request of the server for a course of the
courseware' and 'authoring to transfer courses of the
courseware from the workstation to the repository'" (Br10).
We do not understand appellants' argument. However, we
see nothing vague about the words "in" and "at." It would
have the same meaning to say the course is at the repository
and at the servers or in the repository and in the servers.
This reason for the § 112, second paragraph, rejection is
reversed.
