Appeal No. 2002-0814
Application No. 09/112,261
We note that Appellants make the same argument for the other
independent claims 7 and 15. See pages 9-12 of Appellants' brief
and page 5 of the reply brief.
Upon our review of Hendricks, we find that Hendricks does
teach using a logical expression to identify entries in a
database. See column 3 and 4 of Hendricks. In particular,
Hendricks teaches evaluating a logical expression disclosed in
column 3, lines 60-65. However, the evaluation of this
expression results in a set of entries but does not result in
resolving the expression into a Boolean truth-value by analyzing
the database result information as recited in Appellants' claims.
