Appeal No. 1999-2263
Application 08/581,721
techniques of Yanai should be applied to a data center
migration. The mere fact that it was known to migrate data
from one data center to another data center in the prior art
does not establish the obviousness of using Yanai’s teachings
in that environment. The only suggestion to apply data
mirroring techniques to a data center migration comes from
appellant’s own disclosure of the invention. As argued by
appellant, it is improper to use his own disclosure to provide
the motivation necessary for modifying the prior art to arrive
at the claimed invention. We can find no suggestion in Yanai
and the admitted prior art data migration techniques to apply
the techniques of Yanai to these prior art data migration
techniques.
