          Appeal No. 2003-0319                                                        
          Application No. 09/206,663                                 Page 8           

          Risberg does not disclose "means for responding to an event to              
          initiate execution of all query processes having constraints                
          satisfied by data sources" since Risberg does not respond to an             
          event by initiating execution of all query processes having                 
          constraints satisfied by data sources, as recited in claim 1.               
               From all of the above, we find that the examiner has failed            
          to establish a prima facie case of anticipation of claim 1.  The            
          rejection of claim 1 and claims 2-10, dependent therefrom, is               
          therefore reversed.  In addition, as independent claim 11                   
          similarly recites "receiving complex queries" and "responding to            
          events by executing all query processes having constraints                  
          satisfied by data sources to provide results required by each of            
          the queries," we find that Risberg does not anticipate                      
          independent claim 11.  Accordingly, the rejection of claim 11,              
          and claims 12-20, dependent therefrom, under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)             
          is reversed.                                                                
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims            
          1-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) is reversed.                                  
                                      REVERSED
