Appeal 2007-0210
Application 10/167,359
Appellants’ invention relates to a system and method for sending and
receiving software updates and other forms of data over a network between a
server and client. In the words of the Appellant:
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a
data management system comprises a processor adapted to receive a
transfer of an update. The system also comprises an update manager
accessible by the processor and adapted to obtain a listing identifying
each of a plurality of data packets corresponding to the update. The
update manager is further adapted to access the listing to determine a
transfer status of each of the data packets in the response to a partial
transfer of the update.
Claim 1 is exemplary:
1. A data management system, comprising:
a processor adapted to receive a transfer of an update; and
an update manager accessible by the processor and adapted to
obtain a listing identifying each of a plurality of data packets
corresponding to the update prior to a transfer of the update.
The prior art relied upon by the Examiner in rejecting the claims on
appeal is:
Doshi 5,222,061 Jun. 22, 1993
Dougall 2003/0093485 A1 May 15, 2003
(filed May 15, 2002)
The Examiner rejected claims 1- 20 and 26-49 under 35 U.S.C. 103(a)
for being obvious over Dougall in view of Doshi.
Appellants contend that the claimed subject matter is not rendered
obvious over Dougall in view of Doshi, for reasons to be discussed more
