Appeal No. 2000-2091
Application 08/441,024
Appellant’s claims 1 through 11 and 13 through 16 as standing
or falling together as a group, and we will treat claim 1 as
the representative claim of that group.
With respect to Kobayashi, Appellant argues that the
claimed storing, writing, confirming and transferring of not-
yet-transferred data are all done on the client side whereas
Kobayashi performs such functions on the server side. In
particular, Appellant points to the rollback journal file in
Kobayashi that receives data from the transaction processing
control section, which is located on the server side, only
when the data processing system operates as a server (oral
hearing and brief, page 8). Appellant concludes that the
rollback journal is associated with the server and does not
store the data that is to be transferred from a client to a
server. Additionally, Appellant argues that the transaction
processing control section of Kobayashi operates on the server
side whereas the claimed data writing, confirming and
transferring processes are internal to and executed by a
client (brief, page 9). Similarly, Appellant asserts that
Kobayashi merely provides status data for PHASE II processing
to the client while the rollback processing restores data in
