Appeal No. 1999-1563
Application 08/509,619
As regards Lemon's disclosure at column 4, lines 50-55,
that public interfaces and inter-relationships are well
defined and frameworks are the unit of design reuse, being
well defined and the unit of design reuse does not mandate
frameworks with core function specifically designed not to be
subject to modification by a consumer of the framework.
Column 15, line 59 through column 16, line 9, of Lemon
teach that a developer need not write much software, as most
software is supplied by existing ensembles. There is no basis
for the Examiner's interpretation of "existing ensembles" as
"core" software function not subject to modification by a
consumer of the framework mechanism. While this section of
Lemon's specification provides that third party developers
would have to write very little software since most of the
software to control the card is supplied by existing
ensembles, it does not teach that the existing ensembles are
designed not to be subject to modification by a consumer of
the framework mechanism.
Column 16, lines 50-54, of Lemon include the statement,
“The booting framework must provide a set of base system
functions”. The Examiner interprets “base system function”
