Appeal No. 1998-1181
Application No. 08/442,883
Appellants also note the Examiner's admission that “Blair
fails to show the cellular system storing a plurality of home
SIDs.”
In regard to the Examiner's contention that Appellants
fail to claim “means for automatically selecting a carrier
frequency as a home carrier” (Examiner's emphasis), Appellants
point out that the suggested limitation is irrelevant as the
claims specifically relate to home SIDs (Appellants'
emphasis).
In addition, Appellants assert that the claims include
selecting a “cellular carrier” as opposed to simply displaying
information, and that the word “selecting” in Krolopp refers
to the action of actually designating a particular system for
use.
In response to the Examiner's position that it is not
“invention” to broadly provide a mechanical or automatic means
to replace manual activity which accomplishes the same result,
Appellants note that this is not true in all cases.
