                  Appeal No. 2006-3137                                                                Page 3                    
                  Application No. 10/037,799                                                                                    
                  interacts with 35 U.S.C. § 112, Paragraphs One and Two.  See MPEP § 2185 and the                              
                  discussion of related issues.                                                                                 

                          Fifth, the Examiner is required to set forth claim interpretation as to how the “set                  
                  up information” limits the client system in independent claim 21:                                             

                          21.     A client computer system for synchronizing data records stored on the                         
                          client computer system with data records stored on a server system, the client                        
                          computer system comprising:                                                                           
                          a database for storing the data records; and                                                          
                          a processor coupled to the database for creating setup information to the server                      
                          system,                                                                                               
                          wherein the setup information enables the server system to identify the client, to                    
                          identify where to find information the server system needs for synchronization                        
                          and to provide appropriate commands for the client.                                                   

                          Does the Examiner find that the set up information changes the recited structure                      
                  of the client or the recited operation of the client in independent claim 21?  Similarly,                     
                  does the Examiner find that the set up information changes the recited structure of the                       
                  server or the recited operation of the server in independent claim 26?
