Appeal No. 1998-1181
Application No. 08/442,883
corresponding structure or steps, or equivalents, to the
claimed invention.
We also agree with Appellant that a home SID and one or
more good SIDs are not the same as a plurality of home SIDs,
even if these SIDs have been stored in the memory of a
portable telephone by a service technician. Blair, by the
distinct nomenclature given the different SIDs, recognizes the
distinction between home SIDs and other classes of SIDs. See,
for example, the discussion of good SIDs and negative SIDs at
column 4, lines 38-43, of Blair, and the recitation of home
SIDs at column 4, line 54, and figures 3 and 5, of Blair.
Accordingly, we reverse the rejection of claims 46-48 and
55-56 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by Blair.
B. Rejection of claims 55-56 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as
anticipated by Krolopp
