          Appeal No. 2004-1136                                                        
          Application No. 09/363,948                                                  

          functioned properly.  Kathrow deals only with multiple                      
          fingerprints of a single file, not with fingerprints for plural             
          configuration files.  Further, we find no disclosure in Kathrow             
          of a configuration file catalogue.  Consequently, as Kathrow                
          fails to teach or suggest each element of the claims, we cannot             
          sustain the anticipation rejection of the claims over Kathrow.              

                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1, 2, and 4              
          through 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
