Appeal No. 2000-1704
Application No. 08/484,999
Claims 1-3, 17-21 and 23-25 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103. As evidence of obviousness the examiner offers the IBM
Design Guide in view of the IBM Model Guide with respect to claims
1, 2 and 24, adds Brockschmidt to this combination with respect to
claims 17, 18, 23 and 25, and adds the IBM Bulletin to the second
combination with respect to claims 3 and 19-21.
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the
examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for the
respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal,
the rejections advanced by the examiner and the evidence of
obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the
rejections. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into
consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants’ arguments
set forth in the briefs along with the examiner’s rationale in
support of the rejections and arguments in rebuttal set forth in
the examiner’s answer.
