            Appeal No. 2002-0374                                                  Page 13              
            Application No. 08/599,227                                                                 


            examiner has failed to establish a prima facie case of obviousness                         
            of claim 1.  Accordingly, the rejection of claim 1 under 35 U.S.C.                         
            § 103(a) is reversed.  As the other independent claims require                             
            either redundant unmapped cache lines and/or accessing the                                 
            redundant cache line without displacing the data in the main array,                        
            we find that the teachings of Supnik, Rastegar and Lucente do not                          
            suggest the language of claims 2-13.  In sum, the rejection of                             
            claims 1-13 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.
