Appeal No. 97-1303
Application 08/160,300
the artisan to have extended the teachings of conditional
branching to any type of conditional storage. The examiner's
position at the top of page 14 of the answer that a
conventional conditional write or move operation is
implemented by a branch instruction is misplaced since the
examiner has already admitted in the statement of the
rejection at page 6 of the answer that such conventionally is
not taught in Murakami.
Therefore, since the examiner's evidence of obviousness
in Murakami, as well as the examiner's reasoning within 35
U.S.C.
§ 103 are insufficient and unpersuasive to us, we must reverse
the rejection of each independent claim 1, 11, 21, 46, 58 and
70 as well as each of their respective dependent claims.
