Appeal No. 2006-0673 Page 3
Application No. 09/919,555
Accordingly, the appellants' invention is a method of producing an addressable
array of differently sequenced biopolymers on a substrate. More specifically, the
biopolymers are deposited onto different regions of the substrate. Data related to the
array are saved in a memory. The fabricated array is then shipped to a remote location
for use, and the data are also forwarded to the location. (Id. at ll. 18-31.)
A further understanding of the invention can be achieved by reading the following
representative claim.
1 . A method for generating an addressable array of chemical moieties on
a substrate, comprising:
(a) depositing the moieties onto different regions of the substrate so
as to fabricate the array;
(b) before the array is exposed to a sample, saving in a memory
array related data which comprises instructions for selecting one or more
machine readable algorithms for use by a processor on how to read an
array or machine readable algorithms for use by a processor on how to
process data from an array following reading of the array;
(c) shipping the fabricated array, and forwarding the array related
data to a location remote from where the array is fabricated.
