              Appeal No. 2002-1236                                                                                      
              Application No. 08/359,743                                                                                


              language to support this argument.  Therefore, we will sustain the examiner’s rejection                   
              of dependent claim 5 and claims 6, 8, 9, and 32 which appellants have grouped                             
              therewith.                                                                                                
                     The examiner goes on to address claim 6 even though appellants have elected                        
              to group this claim with dependent claim 5.  The examiner explains that when a mobile                     
              station does not respond with a page response in its last known location, then it is next                 
              paged in the paging area, and the old location is deleted from the database and the new                   
              location replaces the old location.  The examiner maintains that this meets the language                  
              of claim 6.  (See answer at page 5.)  We agree with the examiner’s application of the                     
              teachings of Boudreau, and appellants have presented no evidence to rebut this                            
              specific and reasonable interpretation.  Additionally, we will sustain the examiner’s                     
              rejection of independent claim 6 independently of appellants’ grouping with claim 5.
