          Appeal No. 2001-0024                                                        
          Application No. 08/827,285                                Page 13           


          not eequivalent to the claimed "Chart of Account Attributes                 
          object class."                                                              
               From all of the above, we find that the examiner has failed            
          to establish a prima facie case of obviousness of claim 3.                  
          Accordingly, the rejection of claim 3 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is           
          reversed.  As independent claims 11, 19, and 35 contain similar             
          limitations, the rejection of claims 11, 19, and 35, under 35               
          U.S.C. § 103(a), as well as claims 4-9, 12-17, 20-25, and 35-41             
          dependent therefrom, is reversed.                                           
               We turn next to the rejection of claims 27-33 as                       
          unpatentable over Bigus in view of Marks and Parrish.  We reverse           
          the rejection of claims 27-33 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as Parrish           
          does not make up for the deficiencies of the basic combination to           
          Bigus and Marks.
