                Appeal No. 96-3699                                                                                                       
                Application 08/063,407                                                                                                   


                data base.  The examiner has identified the two data bases as rule base 34 and templates 50 in Figure 3                  

                of Prager.  However, as noted above, there is no substitution of data between elements 34 and 50 in                      

                Prager and, consequently, there can be no substituting of an object from one data base for at least one                  

                word in the process data from a second data base.  Otherwise, it has not been shown that the subject                     

                matter of Paragraph (h) involves an obvious modification of Prager and Bourne. In re Fritch, supra.                      

                        Whereas claims 2-6, 8 and 9 depend from claim 1, the rejection of these claims will not be                       

                sustained.
