Appeal No. 2002-1109
Application 09/316,436
When the table of Figs. 1 and 2 in Haegele is created,
updated, or revised to add a new row entry, the user must be able
to define an attribute by giving it a name to the attribute (the
word in Figs. 1 and 2), must be able to specify to which
attribute the new entry is subordinate by the level of
indentation, and this information is put into a row entry
assigned to a data lot. Column 5, lines 60-67, discusses
updating or revising the pre-index table. Thus, steps (a) to (c)
are implicit in Haegele. Haegele discloses allowing the user to
retrieve data lots from the relational database using the
attributes (col. 5, lines 46-51; col. 6, lines 1-27), as recited
in step (d). Thus, we find that claim 23 is anticipated by
Haegele. The rejection of claim 23 is sustained.
Claim 24
For the reasons stated in connection with claim 10, the
rejection of claim 24 is sustained.
Claim 25
For the reasons stated in connection with claim 7, the
rejection of claim 25 is sustained.
Claim 26
For the reasons stated in connection with claim 11, the
rejection of claim 26 is sustained.
