Appeal No. 2005-0599
Application 09/734,805
OPINION
We reverse the aforementioned rejection.
Each of the appellants’ independent claims requires using
Object Request Broker (ORB) protocol to search at least one
interface repository for interfaces to available program objects
for which a match exists between the program object’s
specifications and search criterion input.
Hogan discloses a Real-Time Embedded Software (RTES)
apparatus and method for facilitating reuse and visibility of
RTES (col. 5, lines 32-34). The apparatus includes at least one
repository client and at least one repository server (col. 5,
lines 44-46). “Generally, the Repository Client accesses a
Repository Server which, in turn, searches for the Repository
Units in the ‘accessed’ Repository database that match the
attributes criterion. If there are no matches found in the
‘accessed’ Repository database, then the Repository Server
searches other unrestricted repository databases until matching
Repository Units are detected” (col. 9, lines 17-23).
