(col. 15, ll. 33-35). Wookey also teaches the operator “ALL OF TYPE” that
extracts all the values (i.e., multiple values) of a certain type (col. 15, ll. 47-
48). Finally, Wookey teaches the operator “ALL OVER TIME” that obtains
a range of data for a token over a period of time (i.e., necessarily requiring
multiple transactions over a period of time) (col. 15, ll. 49-50). Therefore,
we agree with the Examiner that Wookey teaches or suggests multiple
transactions bracketed together, as claimed. Accordingly, we will sustain
the Examiner’s rejection of dependent claim 8 as being unpatentable over
Wookey.
Claims 9, 10, and 17
We consider next the Examiner’s rejection of dependent claims 9, 10,
and 17 as being unpatentable over the teachings of Wookey. Appellants
restate their argument that there is no motivation to modify Wookey in the
manner suggested by the Examiner. We note that we have fully addressed
Appellants’ arguments regarding motivation supra. With respect to each of
claims 9, 10, and 17, Appellants restate the same argument previously
presented for claim 8 (i.e., “While the passage teaches a variety of possible
operators to define alerts, it does not teach or suggest that any of the
operators can be bracketed together”) (Br. 12). We note that we have fully
addressed this argument with respect to claim 8, supra. Therefore, we will
sustain the Examiner’s rejection of dependent claims 9, 10, and 17 as being
unpatentable over Wookey for the same reasons discussed supra with
respect to claim 8.
