such as a computer memory, Office Personnel should treat the
claim as a product claim . . . .’” We do not agree with the
examiner’s position. Rather, we are persuaded by appellant
that these claims indeed are directed to a computer-readable
medium having a program stored therein. Since we have decided
above, that the computer program as claimed does belong to a
statutory process under 35 U.S.C. § 101, we conclude that
these claims also belong
to the statutory category under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Therefore,
we
reverse the examiner’s rejection of claims 30 through 36.
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 15 through
17, 22, 23, 27, 30 through 38, 41 through 43, and 45 through
53 under 35 U.S.C. § 101 is reversed.
REVERSED
