Appeal No. 2004-1190
Application No. 09/286,160
The examiner has rejected claims 3 and 17 over Massiglia in view of
Khosrowpour and Griffith, and claim 10 over Massiglia, Khosrowpour, Bergsten
and Pinson. The examiner has not asserted, nor do we find, that Griffith,
Bergsten or Pinson teach or suggest the claimed front-end controller which
performs both striping and generating a mirror, and which is connected to more
then one back-end controller. Accordingly, we will not sustain the rejection of
claims 3, 10 and 17 for the reasons stated above.
In view of the forgoing, we will not sustain the examiner’s rejection of
claims 1 through 8 and 10 through 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The decision of
the examiner is reversed.
