Appeal No. 2003-1112
Application No. 09/520,892
With respect to the examiner’s reliance upon the teachings of Chong, appellants
argue that the examiner has not provided a prima facie case of obviousness. (See
brief at pages 18-19.) We agree with appellants and find the examiner’s rationale for
the combination to be merely conclusory. Furthermore, we do not find that the
teachings of Mitchell and Chong remedy the noted deficiency in the teachings of
Yamauchi with respect to the lack of the teaching of an application server as discussed
above. Furthermore, we generally agree with appellants’ three arguments at pages 17-
21 of the brief, and we will not sustain the rejection based upon the combination of
Yamauchi, Mitchell, and Chong.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-65 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
