Appeal 2007-0349
Application 09/862,355
In Lin, "the filter 106 employs a 'rate limiting' mechanism to limit the
rate of session establishment packet submission" (col. 2, ll. 26-28). Lin does
not limit based on the number of active sessions with a client process and
does not track any information about the client process. Lin does not teach
"determining, using the IP address of the computing device, the number of
presently active sessions within said FTP server process previously
established with FTP client processes operating on said computing device."
Nor does Lin teach "comparing said number of presently active sessions
with a predetermined threshold value" where the active sessions are the ones
with a client process. While there is some comparing going on, it is not the
comparing of the claims. The Examiner has failed to establish a prima facie
case of obviousness. The obviousness rejection of claims 9-13 is reversed.
CONCLUSION
The rejections of claims 1-16 are reversed.
REVERSED
