          Appeal No. 2002-2295                                                        
          Application 08/988,457                                                      


               Grube fails to teach or suggest that the configuration                 
          device 115 is used in any way other than to simply provide data             
          to a single remote unit and to be used only with that remote                
          unit.  Therefore, Grube only teaches using, with each remote                
          unit, a personal configuration device 115 that stores all the               
          application data for that remote unit.  We find nothing in Grube            
          to teach or suggest modifying the LaPorta central station.  At              
          most, Grube simply would lead those skilled in the art to modify            
          the LaPorta system to include a replaceable configuration unit              
          associated with each pager or remote unit.  Therefore, this                 
          combination would not result in a central station that transfers            
          application software data invoked by a mobile unit using the                
          radio base stations identified from registration information                
          received from the mobile units and stored in a registration                 
          database as recited in Appellants’ claims.
