Appeal No. 2004-2099
Application No. 09/487,191
Appellants have thoroughly argued the limitation of
"generating at least one estimate of a distribution of the
original data using a distribution of the perturbed data."
However, this limitation is not found in claim 7.
With respect to independent claim 7, Appellants have not
presented arguments pointing out alleged error(s) in the
Examiner's rejection of claim 1 that are also applicable to claim
7. Further, Appellants have not presented separate arguments
pointing out any alleged error in the Examiner's rejection of
claim 7.
Therefore, we will sustain the Examiner's rejection under
35 U.S.C. § 103.
Conclusion
In view of the foregoing discussion, we have not sustained
the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims 1-6 and 20-22; and
we have sustained the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claims
7-13 and 23.
