Appeal No. 1998-1518
Application No. 08/606,113
during runtime, as claimed. The examiner’s further reference to the “runtime checking
operations for library functions [col. 7 lines 41-42]” of Crank, adds nothing to the deficiency
of Sites regarding a showing of a first block of code within a shared library which is
dynamically translated during runtime of a first application.
Because an important claim limitation has not been convincingly shown by the
examiner to have been taught or suggested by the applied references [we do not find the
Hewlett Packard reference, cited for a teaching of breakpoints, to provide for the
deficiencies of Sites and Crank], we hold that the examiner has not established a prima
facie case of obviousness with regard to the instant claimed subject matter.
The examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1-14 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
