Appeal No. 1997-4222
Application 08/182,886
invention merges records from the databases into a single
multiple bit word or a plurality of multiple bit words of
which part or all can be read in a single access. We find
nothing in claim 1 of Milden to teach or suggest this.
Milden’s claim 1 does not teach the creation and composition
of a multiple bit word or a plurality of multiple bit words
which is made up of inputs from various databases.
To whatever extent the examiner is having trouble in
construing the claimed terms, “multiple bit word” and
“plurality of multiple bit words,” reference to the last
paragraph on page 4 of the instant specification, describing
the format as a “32-bit word,” and to Figure 3 makes it clear
that such a format is not described or suggested by Milden’s
claim 1.
The examiner’s rejection of claims 2 through 6 under
obviousness-type double patenting is reversed.
REVERSED
