           Appeal No. 1997-0708                                                                     
           Application 08/196,618                                                                   

                 In summary, the Examiner has failed to establish a prima                           
           facie case of obviousness with respect to the limitations of                             
           (1) performing a "first[] read-only request" followed by a                               
           "second read-write request" in response to a "request to check                           
           cache coherency," and (2) a "lock for interrupting access."                              
           Therefore, the rejection of claims 1, 2, 4-7, 9, and 10 is                               
           reversed.
