                Application 10/692,885

           3           21.  In Knutson, an Analyst specifies an event in the data which must                     
           4    trigger an Alert; or specifies the type of analysis and the business measures                    
           5    and segments to be reported on in an InfoFrame, and optionally the schedule                      
           6    on which this InfoFrame is to be generated or the event in the data which                        
           7    must trigger the InfoFrame.  (col. 3, ll. 48-53).

          10    Relating To Anticipation                                                                         
          11           “A claim is anticipated only if each and every element as set forth in                    
          12    the claim is found, either expressly or inherently described, in a single prior                  
          13    art reference.”  Verdegaal Bros., Inc. v. Union Oil Co. of California, 814                       
          14    F.2d 628, 631, 2 USPQ2d 1051, 1053 (Fed. Cir. 1987).  Analysis of whether                        
          15    a claim is patentable over the prior art under 35 U.S.C. § 102 begins with a                     
          16    determination of the scope of the claim.  We determine the scope of the                          
          17    claims in patent applications not solely on the basis of the claim language,                     
          18    but upon giving claims their broadest reasonable construction in light of the                    
          19    specification as it would be interpreted by one of ordinary skill in the art.  In

          21    1830 (Fed. Cir. 2004).  The properly interpreted claim must then be                              
          22    compared with the prior art.

          24    Relating to Obviousness                                                                          
          25           “Section 103 forbids issuance of a patent when ‘the differences                           
          26    between the subject matter sought to be patented and the prior art are such
