must not only assure that the requisite findings are made, based
on evidence of record, but must also explain the reasoning by
which the findings are deemed to support the agency's
conclusion." In re Lee, 277 F.3d 1338, 1344, 61 USPQ2d 1430,
1434 (Fed. Cir. 2002). With these principles in mind, we
commence review of the pertinent evidence and arguments of
Appellants and Examiner.
Appellants argue that the Examiner improperly rejected their
claims as being obvious over Magee '383 and Magee '710 and Chase,
because there is no teaching or suggestion in the references to
combine the two addressing schemes disclosed. See page 11 of the
brief. In particular, Appellants agree that Magee '383 and Magee
'710 are classical multiple virtual addressed space systems. By
the same token, Appellants agree that Chase is a universal
address space system. However, Appellants argue that there is no
suggestion that the classical multiple virtual address space
system disclosed in Magee '383 and Magee '710 be grafted onto a
universal address space system of Chase to produce Appellants'
claimed invention. See page 12 of the brief.
The Examiner's reason for making the combination is that in
doing so, sharing is improved without sacrificing protection.
