points to Ambriolas' statement12 that "[V]ersions are in fact
immutable . . ." to show that the Examiner's use of Ambriola
functions of "bringover" and "storeback" to integrate and
incorporate into a copy of the initial version is not
possible.
The Examiner finds13 that Tichy teaches all the
limitations of claim 1, excepting explicit teaching of:
a. Memory and data processing system; and
b. That the difference determined is between S3 and S1; and
c. That the integrated copy is integrated from a copy
of the initial version S1'; and
d. That the modified new version is incorporated from
a copy of the modified initial version.
As to item (a) above, the Examiner asserts that memory
and a data processing system would have been inherent
components of the
system of Tichy for performing version management.
As to item (b) above, the Examiner points to Tichy's
teaching of determining the difference between any one version
