Appeal No. 1995-4702
Application 08/071,049
data flows with respect to any particular application program
running. Architecturally then, the claimed invention and IBM
function at entirely different levels in the host system. As
expressed in the latter pages in the answer, we also do not
agree with the continued examiner's views that any
relationship between a kind of server and extension satisfies
what the examiner views as broad claim language. The examiner
has not shown to our satisfaction that IBM teaches or suggests
within 35 U.S.C. § 103 the claimed correspondence and
structural correspondence, and has provided no persuasive line
of reasoning to convince us that the artisan would have found
it obvious to have done so based upon these teachings and
suggestions in IBM. Therefore, we reverse the rejection of
claims 15 and 30 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
