Appeal No. 2004-0933
Application 09/256,680
in the order provided by the linked list (EA5). The examiner
finds that upon receiving a request "for an application or a
filename, a reset stamp identifier module (260) uses a linked
list of reset stamps to retrieve all backup files including all
components of said requested application" (EA5). The examiner
refers to column 8, lines 20-36 (EA5).
Appellants reply that it is not understood on what basis the
examiner asserts that building a linked list of reset stamps in
conjunction with the file list builder module and the linked list
identifier module leads to the creation of a linked list of
application components installed in a computer (RBr4).
We find that Pongracz does not disclose "creating a linked
list of application components installed on the computer system."
Pongracz discloses creating a list of backup files, not a list of
application components installed on the computer system.
Moreover, the list is not a linked list. The portion of Pongracz
originally cited for a linked list does not mention a linked list
and the examiner changes the portion relied on in the answer.
The only linked list mentioned in Pongracz is the linked list of
reset stamps at column 3, lines 17-19, and column 8, lines 25-28.
A reset stamp is a unique identifier created by coupling the
current value of the transaction counter with the integer
- 7 -7
