Appeal No. 97-1303 Application 08/160,300 Essentially, we agree with the positions advocated by appellant in the brief beginning at page 17. Murakami appears to us as well not to make any mention of write priorities in storing the results of arithmetic operations nor of any write priorities associated with storing any data move or data transfer operations therewith. The final rejection as well as the answer do not mention write priority as recited in each claim on appeal, and we observe as did the appellant at page 17 of the brief that the final rejection admits that Murakami does not disclose this subject matter. Appellant quotes column 23, lines 35-48 of Murakami, which appears to be the major or only basis the examiner relies upon to urge the analogousness of additional branch decision unit operations to conditional storage operations. The examiner admits at page 6 of the answer that Murakami does not explicitly teach executing a conditional store operation for selectively storing either the result of an operation or a value of a predetermined memory into a designated memory location depending upon the condition value. 7Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
