ON BRIEF
____________
Before BARRETT, BARRY, and LEVY, Administrative Patent Judges.
BARRY, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
A patent examiner rejected claims 1-20. The appellants appeal therefrom under
35 U.S.C. § 134(a). We reverse.
BACKGROUND
The invention at issue on appeal concerns "design verification." Design
verification is the process of determining whether a device under testing ("DUT")
accurately implements requirements defined by a specification therefor. Design
verification for a DUT may be done on the actual device or on a simulation model
thereof; the invention focuses on the latter. (Spec. at 1.)
