                Appeal 2007-0279                                                                               
                Application 10/042,079                                                                         
                entire record before us, we find that the Examiner erred in rejecting                          
                dependent claims 2 through 6, 8, 9, 15 through 19, 21, 22, 28 through 32, 34,                  
                and 35 as being unpatentable over Krishna, taken in various combinations                       
                with Green and Evans.                                                                          

                                             CONCLUSION OF LAW                                                 
                On the record before us, Krishna does not anticipate the claimed                               
                invention under 35 U.S.C. § 102 (e) when Krishna teaches using                                 
                declarations and interfaces of a first object-oriented software program while                  
                excluding executable statements of the first object-oriented software to                       
                create library stubs to generate an interface to compile a second object-                      
                oriented software program.  Further, one of ordinary skill in the art at the                   
                time of the present invention, would not have found that Krishna, taken in                     
                various combinations with Green and Evans renders the claimed invention                        
                unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).                                                         

                                                 DECISION                                                      
                      We reverse the Examiner’s decision to reject claims 1, 7, 10 through                     
                14, 20, 23 through 27, 33, and 36 through 39 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 (e) as                      
                being anticipated by Krishna.  We also reverse the Examiner’s decision to                      
                reject claims 2 through 6, 8, 9, 15 through 19, 21, 22, 28 through 32, 34, and                 
                35 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Krishna, taken in                       
                various combinations with Green and Evans.                                                     
                                                                                                              




                                                      8
