Appeal No. 2002-1109
Application 09/316,436
claim 13, as broadly claimed, is anticipated by Haegele. The
rejection of claim 13 is sustained.
Claim 14
The examiner refers to column 1, line 39, to column 3,
line 14 (EA6), which is not specific enough to be helpful. The
examiner then points to column 2, lines 56-62 (EA14). Although
this is more precise, it still does not address the claim
limitations. Haegele only discloses a one-to-one correspondence
between attributes and data lots, i.e., between each row entry
and the data lot in the relational database. Claim 14 is limited
to the case of more than one attribute for a single data lot,
which we do not find described, expressly or implicitly, in
Haegele. The rejection of claim 14 is reversed.
Claim 15
For the reasons stated in connection with claim 3, the
rejection of claim 15 is sustained.
Claim 16
For the reasons stated in connection with claim 5, the
rejection of claim 16 is reversed.
