Appeal No. 2006-2574
Application No. 10/331,706
Again, we view it as reasonable to find that these defined
skill sets must be registered vis a vis the individual resources,
or agents, somewhere in the system if an agent having the
particular skills called for is to be assigned to a particular
task. Otherwise, how would the management system know which
agents, or resources, had the particular skills sought?
Moreover, while appellant strongly asserts that we must
interpret the term “registered” as it is used in the
specification, or as someone skilled in the art would reasonably
interpret the term, yet appellant never identifies a particular
portion of the specification wherein this term is defined, and
appellant does not identify what specific meaning is to be given
this term that is any different from the broad, yet reasonable,
interpretation of the examiner. Exactly what interpretation,
consistent with the instant specification, does appellant wish us
to give the term “register”? Appellant has not specifically
said.
Appellant does argue that “register” should not be confused
with “programming,” citing dictionary definitions at page 8 of
the principal brief, but the examiner has never asserted that
Kishinsky’s programming is equivalent to a “registration” and it
is unclear as to exactly which definition of “register” appellant
