Appeal No. 2000-1260
Application 08/518,852
Having reviewed the Bertram and Garner references, we find
no factual basis or motivation for suggesting their combination
as suggested by the Examiner. Further, we find no evidence to
modify the Bertram reference, in light of Garner, to automate the
boot sequence as suggested by the Examiner. Rather, we find, as
stated supra, that the Garner invention is concerned only with a
“post-boot-up” problem and fails to suggest any reason for
addressing a “computer booting” problem as relates to Bertram and
Appellants’ claimed limitations.
Therefore, we will not sustain the Examiner’s rejection of
claims 26 through 29 and 37 through 40. Furthermore, we note
that the Examiner relies on Bertram and Garner for the above
discussed limitations in rejected claims 23 through 25 and 34
through 36. Therefore, we will not sustain the rejection of
these claims.
