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. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Next
