Appeal No. 2000-1260
Application 08/518,852
unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Bertram and Garner.
Then, on page 5 lines 1-5 of the Answer, the Examiner states that
claims 26 and 37 do not recite the device drivers claimed in
claim 23 and therefore the rejection is the same as the rejection
for claim 23 (see page 2 lines 26-28 of the Answer) with the
exception that the Archon reference is no longer relied upon.
In specific reference to the subject matter of the rejection
of claim 26, the Examiner states that Bertram shows that upon a
determination of an improper initialization with regards to a
first set of configuration data, “retrieving a second set of
configuration data, such that, when the second set of
configuration data was previously used when configuring the
computer system,” there was proper initialization based on the
default configuration, column 8 lines 31-32. See page 3 lines
10-17 of the Answer. The Examiner then states that “Garner et
al. explicitly teaches performing initial configuration of the
system without user input (col. 3 lines 3-12).” See page 3 lines
21-23 of the Answer. The Examiner further states that “Garner
further teaches storing the last configuration so that any
changes may be detected and the configuration may be updated
(col. 2 lines 7-9).” See page 4 lines 15-17 of the Answer.
