Appeal No. 2006-0998
Application No. 10/076,729
We note that other independent claims 9, 17, 22, and 29 also
require that the centralized management include managing
configuration of an operating system. As discussed above, The
Examiner has neither pointed to any relevant teachings in Davis
nor provided sufficient evidence that the prior art of record
inherently includes managing configuration of the operating
system of the network client. Accordingly, the 35 U.S.C. § 102
rejection of claims 1-18, 20-29, 31-35 and 39-43 cannot be
sustained.
Regarding the 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 19, 30,
and 36-38, we note the Examiner’s failure to point to any
teachings or suggestions for modifying Davis to overcome the
deficiencies discussed above with respect to the independent
claims. Based on our determination that Davis does not teach the
invention of the base claims 1, 9, 17, 22, and 29, the 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 rejection of the dependent claims 19, 30, and 36-38 over
Davis cannot be sustained.
