Appeal No. 1998-1734
Application No. 07/508,024
physical article of manufacture out of the statutory realm.
Moreover, like the claims previously discussed, this claim is
also directed to a practical application of a computer program.
That application is the planning of a path for an object to
follow in a physical task space and updating a configuration
space data structure to reflect changed conditions in order to
provide a parameter signal which is usable by the object to
follow the path.
Accordingly, we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of
claims 1, 30 and 41-53 under 35 U.S.C. § 101 since it is our view
that the instant claims are directed to statutory subject matter.
