Appeal No. 2003-0100
Application No. 09/298,663
While it would appear that both Wobber and the instant
invention would require some type of pre-arrangement, whereby
there is some criteria for determining which principal is issued
access to which data class, etc., the instant claims require that
the selective issuance of the access authorizations be “in
response to the requests” by the principals. The examiner has
pointed to nothing in the applied references which suggests such
an access selectively issued to a principal in response to a
request from the principal nor has the examiner adequately
explained away this specific claim limitation.
The examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1-8, 13-19, 23-30
and 34-42 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
