Appeal No. 2003-0342
Application 09/040,919
software in Gustavson is unsupported by the teachings of the
applied prior art because the configuing software in Gustavson is
either already at the local device or has been placed on the disk
by the distributor. Therefore, there is no support on this
record for the examiner’s position.
Since we have not sustained the examiner’s rejection of
independent claims 1, 7 and 12, we also do not sustain the
rejection with respect to any of the claims which depend
therefrom. We note that the additional teachings of Postel and
Cook fail to overcome the deficiencies in the combination of
Gustavson and Griffin discussed above.
In conclusion, we have not sustained the examiner’s
rejection of any of the claims on appeal. Therefore, the
decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1, 2 and 4-13 is
reversed.
