Appeal No. 2006-2936
Application No. 10/013,714
At page 11, lines 6 through 12, Appellant’s specification
states the following:
The program installer 11 includes a safety checker
11a for checking the safety of a program P before the
installation thereof and a data access permission
setting manager 11b for making a data access permission
setting for the program P with respect to data in the
database 13 according to the checked safety level.
Thus, representative claim 1 does require making a data access
permission setting for the program which accesses the database
storing sets of data for each of which a security level setting
is made.
Now, the question before us is what Britton would have
taught to one of ordinary skill in the art? To answer this
question, we find the following facts:
1. At column 3, lines 50 through 59, Britton states the
following:
Property level access control, in accordance with
the present invention, regulates user access to
specific properties located within an object.
FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention
illustrating an OODB 200. The OODB 200 may include a
plurality of objects 210-1 to 210-N, where `N’ is the
number of objects in the OODB. As is well known in the
art, an object is a distinct unit in a program that is
made up of a plurality of properties having
attributes, relationships or methods [Emphasis added].
