              Appeal 2006-2971                                                                     
              Application 10/015,256                                                               
              line analysis indicates that a number of the claim limitations are not fairly        
              read on that reference.                                                              
                    Claim 1 contains the following limitations:                                    
                 1. A method for tracking custom computer application development                  
                       profiles in a data processing system, said method comprising:               
                          creating said profiles with a first database tool;                       
                          gathering requirements of said profiles with a second database           
                          tool;                                                                    
                          tracking modifications of said profiles with a third database            
                          tool;                                                                    
                          allowing security and authorization users access to said                 
                          profiles; and                                                            
                          determining whether breaches in security of said data                    
                          processing system has [have]2 occurred in each phase of                  
                          development of a computer application program.                           

                    Sziklai’s system addresses the application of a myriad of regulations          
              of various types in a software-based business enterprise, and provides a             
              method and system for tracking the changes, and applying them to the                 
              underlying business so the latter can conform to the requirements of said            
              regulations.  Though not exactly analogous to the claimed method for                 
              tracking custom computer application development profiles, the teachings of          
              Sziklai include information that can be read on the application development          
              profiles in some respects.                                                           
                                                                                                  
              2 Grammatical correction was proposed in Appellants’ unentered                       
              amendment filed on March 1, 2005.                                                    

                                                5
