Appeal No. 2001-1934
Application 08/977,749
OPINION
We reverse.
The principal basis appellant urges to reverse the rejection
of representative independent claim 1 on appeal is the failure of
Kolawa to teach or suggest the feature of the second clause of
representative claim 1 on appeal, that of "retrieving rule data
from a rule database for property naming rules governing
selection of property names assigned to each data field within
the set of data fields." A secondary argument depends upon this
argument/feature of representative claim 1 on appeal by
additionally arguing the generating feature in the third clause
of representative claim 1 is not taught or suggested as well,
principally because of the dependent recitation of the property
names feature on the second clause of representative claim 1 on
appeal. Thus, we are in general agreement with appellant's
urgings at pages 7-10 of the brief on appeal.
We have studied the locations noted by the examiner alleging
a correspondence to the property naming rules database but come
to the same conclusion as urged by appellant at the bottom of
page 8 of the brief that "Kolawa et al does not suggest that the
symbolic memory values and symbolic expressions are determined
