          Appeal No. 1999-0085                                                        
          Application No. 08/427,514                                                  


          Gore and Associates, Inc. v. Garlock, Inc., 721 F.2d 1540,                  
          1554, 220 USPQ 303, 313 (Fed. Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 469                 
          U.S. 851 (1984).                                                            
          The examiner has indicated how he purports to find                          
          anticipation of the claimed invention [answer, pages 3-4].                  
          With respect to independent claims 1 and 7, appellants argue                
          that Connor does not teach the storage of a radio system                    
          personality profile in both the local database and in a radio               
          system control module, and maintaining consistency between the              
          radio system                                                                
          control module and the local database through version                       
          information.  Specifically, appellants argue that the examiner              


          has failed to show version information being used to maintain               
          consistency between information stored by Connor’s console                  
          interface and a local database that is maintained as claimed                
          [brief, page 4].  With respect to independent claims 4 and 9,               
          appellants argue that Connor does not teach the use of a                    
          validate configuration request as claimed [id.].  Finally,                  
          with respect to dependent claim 5, appellants argue that                    
          Connor does not teach soliciting operator permission before                 
                                          5
