Ex parte GOLSTON - Page 7




          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.                                         

                                          7
